Where To Watch
Can you match classic TV shows to their syndication titles?
Even TV shows have alter egos.
Back in the day, hit television shows had multiple personalities. The notion of reruns was a fairly new concept in the 1960s. To avoid confusion, networks would retitle shows for their daytime reruns, so viewers would not mistake them for new episodes.
Popular shows made it to syndication, so lots of classics have alternate titles. How well do you know the syndicated titles of classic shows?
See if you can match the TV show to its rerun title — or vice versa. Good luck!

I remember being a kid watching reruns of Happy Days after school and it said "Happy Days Again" and my brother and I were like: "What the heck's that? It's HAPPY DAYS!" We were really angry about it.
11/12; #9 was before my time.
I also remember “Laverne & Shirley & Company,” “CHiPs Patrol,” “Three’s Company Too,” “Jim Rockford, Private Investigator.”
I knew most of them. I had to guess about The Beverly Hillbillies because I don't even remember them being called that

Never heard of those names in reruns. I just figured it out (except for #7) by logic and good guesses.

If memory serves, Baa Baa Black Sheep's title was changed for the second season, not for syndication. It may be that original title wasn't attracting viewers.
