Where To Watch
Can you guess the TV show by how it named each episode?
The one with the case of the incident with the log number story.
Have you ever wondered how TV writers come up with names for each episode of a show? Sometimes it’s as simple as calling them "Episode 1, Episode 2," etc. There are others shows that use a line from the episode as the title.
Certain series, however, are more inventive. The creators and writers will come up with rules for how each episode should be named. Of course, some shows stick closer to their own naming rules more than others.

Jake and the Fatman, like ALF, also used song titles as episode titles.
(And why doesn't MeTV (or anybody) show Jake and the Fatman? Both the parent program (Matlock) and the offspring (Diagnosis Murder) have been shown often on many networks including MeTV.)

Perhaps because there weren't enough episodes of "Jake and the Fatman" made in order for it to qualify it for syndication (at least 100 episodes have to be produced for that to happen).
By the way - 9/12.

Many episodes of the first two seasons of the first revival of Dragnet also used "The Big..." in the titles.

When I saw the premise, I said to myself "Friends and U.N.C.L.E have got to be in here".
Now here's one they didn't use: what short-lived cop series began with the narrator saying "tonight's episode..." followed by one title, while a completely different title flashed up on the screen? (Hint: the lead actor was a Canadian.)
