– This is a weird situation... Ripley's Believe It or Not! (1982 TV series) and Ripley's Believe It or Not! (2000 TV series) do not exist as stand-alone articles – instead, they're both covered at Ripley's Believe It or Not! (TV series). But, if we follow Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television)#List articles, these two "list of episodes" articles should be named as proposed. Meanwhile, the Philippine version of the show is better disambiguated with "by country" disambiguation here, to distinguish it from the various American versions. Note: I'm leaving aside from this RM whether the base article should be at Ripley's Believe It or Not! (TV series) or Ripley's Believe It or Not! (TV program) – based on WP:NCTV, a case can be made that it should be at the latter disambiguation and not the former. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:13, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:NCTV and MOS:DATERANGE. I would however note that a probably better end result will make the base name the franchise name, and convert the list articles into proper series articles. --Gonnym (talk) 18:58, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Holly Palance's Departure and Series Cancelation

Is there any information of why Holly Palance left the show after season 3, or how Marie Osmond came to replace her? Is there any link between Osmond's hiring and the fact that the season she co-hosted lasted only eleven episodes? Was any reason given for the series' cancelation? I know that I'm not alone in feeling that Marie Osmond was a poor replacement for Holly Palance. I've recently started going back and watching the series and I find Osmond's presentations painfully uninteresting, so I have to wonder if she was brought in to try to boost ratings, or perhaps even to kill the series off. I know she was well past the height of her fame by that point, so I could see it as either an act of desperation by the network or as a move to deliberately "scuttle" a lagging series.
