The single word on both Smallville and Law & Order: SVU (only once or twice have I noticed a 2-word title in the seasons before Stabler left) always amazed me for some reason. I guess I was just impressed that the writers could always come up with one-word titles for so long.
I also love the science tie-in for The Big Bang Theory titles, "The One..." titles for Friends (the writers must've had fun with that), and the song titles for Nashville (and song title spoofs on Hannah Montana. I know it's not a network show but I always had fun trying to see if I recognized the song that being spoofed for the episode).
The Big Bang Theory, because they spice up the titles with advanced words and it just makes it more exciting and fun. I have never truly enjoyed saying sentences like: "Have you seen the episode called "The Apple"?" Bleh (I know, I'm strange :P). TBBT almost never disappoint with their episode titles.
24, with the time of the day. They had a brilliant idea when they came up with that - furthermore, 90% of series have their episode 1.01 called Pilot whereas 24 has a classier 12.00 AM - 1:00 AM. And with such a twist-filled series, it's great to have zero spoilers in the titles.
And I like what The Good Wife is doing, which is to have the number of words matching the number of seasons (e.g : episode 1.18 is called Doubt, episode 2.20 is called Foreign Affairs, episode 4.07 is called Anatomy of a Joke, etc). They're probably not planning on getting to 12 seasons :D.
Chuck's titles were great, loved the Chuck vs. (I wish we had got Chuck vs. Chuck at one point, it would've been an awesome title, but we did get Chuck vs. Sarah) and it was appropriate for that show to go with that kind of titles, Community's titles are pretty great too.
Damages had quotes, sometimes really, really weird quotes to chose (eg. : episode 3.06 is called Don't Forget To Thank Mr. Zedeck), but I liked it for some reason.
Heroes and Eastbound & Down had/have "Chapter X" as titles (except Heroes would follow it up with something whereas Eastbound and Down doesn't and it doesn't stop at the end of a season ; episode 4.01 will be called Chapter 22), I like that too.
Regarding recent series I really like what Hannibal is doing, with the name of the courses of a meal in French (Apéritif, Potage, Entrée, Buffet Froid, etc.).
Some honorable mentions: - I also quite liked when SPN used to do classic rock songs or movie titles, back in the Kripke years, from S2 to S5. But that wasn't an every episode thing - Even though the show sucked the word play and spin of movie titles Gossip Girl used was rather inventive. - Leverage with how they named the jobs. - I love how Community names the episodes as if it's a course you'd take. - Chuck VS the...
I liked, although it was only used for two episodes of Lost--when they used the show name as part of the episode title. Those two were: ....and Found, and ....in Translation.

Community's titling of every episode being in the same vein as a college course e.g: "Remedial Chaos Theory"

ReplyDeleteFriends, they are easy to remember but also DH, HIMYM, ILL.
ReplyDeleteThe Good Wife, it's simple: Every episode title in Season 1 had one word, in Season 2 two words, in Season 3 three words etc.
