"Matchmaker" or "Love Bug"?

[edit]

This article is called "Herbie the Matchmaker." The show's title card reads "Herbie the Love Bug." The first episode is called "Herbie the Matchmaker," but I think "Herbie the Love Bug" is the name of the show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.168.138.147 (talk) 09:12, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just How Many Episodes Were There?

[edit]

It says in the article that there are 5 or 6 episodes. Which is it? First it says that it was a 5-episode replacement series then that there were 6 episodes broadcast. Wouldn't that make it a "6-episode" replacement series? HaarFager (talk) 02:02, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was five, as multiple sources say (see [1]). I'll correct the text. Vmanjr (talk) 03:37, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Page title

[edit]

While I agree that adding "(TV series)" is a good idea for disambiguation, I disagree that the comma is superfluous. The official title of the series, as used by Walt Disney Productions, is Herbie, the Love Bug (with the comma), and per Wikipedia's MOS, we should include any punctuation included in the actual title of the work for the article name. This comma-inclusive is corroborated by all of Disney's promotional material for the series (for example, the promotional images on IMDb [2]). Without starting a move war, I'd like to propose moving the title to "Herbie, the Love Bug (TV series)". Thoughts/objections? Vmanjr (talk) 18:37, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't make sense to litter the edit description. Proof of the comma being used in official Walt Disney Productions correspondence and in reference documents: [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] There is not a single reference to the show being called "All-New Adventures of Herbie the Love Bug", aside from that promotional ad (which I argue is a misinterpretation of what part of that is a title and what part is an advertising slogan). I don't see how Star Wars plays into this - I'm not using the title card in the show itself as a reference. Vmanjr (talk) 05:41, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
