Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television)

When disambiguating articles related to television from other similarly named programs, series, movies, books or terms, use the most appropriate method as described below. Remember that the disambiguator should be added only if multiple articles would normally have the same name. If the title of the television program is the most common usage of the phrase, let it be the title of the article; for example, The Prisoner or Guiding Light.

For guidelines relating to television broadcasting (networks, channels, stations, etc.), see .

Most episodic television shows (both broadcast and cable) are typically produced under a single name, with each episode relating to the others in an understandable way.

Examples

When there are two or more television productions of the same type and name, use one of the following methods:

In certain cases, when programs air in the same region within a few years of each other, it may also be advisable to create redirects that disambiguate using a prefix of the television network that the series has aired on (e.g. The Frank Sinatra Show (CBS TV series) for The Frank Sinatra Show (1950 TV series) vs. The Frank Sinatra Show (ABC TV series) for The Frank Sinatra Show (1957 TV series)). Articles, however, should not reside at a title that uses a television network as disambiguation, rather using one of the examples highlighted above.
