Title Confusion: Difference between revisions

Line 74:
* One version of [[Richard III]] was retitled simply ''Richard'' in the US because many people assumed it was third in a series, and, not having seen the first two, didn't bother to see it.
 
== Often occurs when a [[Revival]] or [[SeriesMedia Franchise]] uses idiosyncratic names ==
* When Hal Roach began his series of child-centered comedy shorts in the 1920s, his titles included ''Roach's Rascals'' and ''The Terrible Ten''. But because the first short was titled ''Our Gang'', the public started referring to them as "Our Gang comedies". By the time MGM took over production in 1938, ''Our Gang'' had become the official title. The series' [[Syndication Title]], ''[[The Little Rascals]]'', wasn't popular until the mid-1960s, when King World sold the shorts to TV stations.
* ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' was originally titled simply ''Enterprise'', to the confusion of fans.
