TV Shows Get New Names: A Closer Look at the Reasons Behind
When a show comes back for a new season, there are often changes. Maybe there's a new member of the cast or an all-new storyline that will drive the season. Less common is when a show comes back with a new name — but it happens.

One notable example is the change from 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents' to 'The Alfred Hitchcock Hour'.

After moving to NBC and doubling its runtime, the show's format changed to an hour-long episode.
