History Main / TitlePlease

* ''SabrinaTheTeenageWitch''

* ''{{Bleach}}''. There is a title screen for each episode, but it only shows the number of the episode in a style unique to that episode.

* ''Series/{{The X-Files}}'' - the writers considered showing the titles in a subtle way such as using them as the title of case files but decided that not mentioning them added to the mystery.
* Most shows on {{Nickelodeon}} and DisneyChannel does this (except their animated shows).

* {{Hanna-Barbera}}'s version of ''RichieRich'' had segments of four different lengths: "Gems", "Riches", "Treasure Chest" and "Zillion-Dollar Adventures". Beyond those generic titles, the segments were not identified on screen
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' - there were about four exceptions (one of which was a gag where "Bart Gets Hit By A Car" showed up, right before Bart got hit by a car. According to the episode commentary, they put this in so that viewers would wonder if they had always been giving the titles and they'd just missed it somehow.)
* ''StarWarsTheCloneWars'', even though they could easily have slipped them in instead of the fortune cookie lines shown after the title sequence.
* All three of SethMacFarlane's cartoons: ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow''

* ''TorchwoodMiracleDay''

* Some of the anime ''[[FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]]'' localized, like ''[[YuGiOh Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and ''UltimateMuscle'', suffered from this.

* ''BattlestarGalactica''

* ''TheBigBangTheory''
* ''{{Cheers}}''

** ''[[{{CSI}} CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]''

* ''{{Friends}}'' doesn't show the names of its episodes, however, since the titles all start with 'the one where...' they usually aren't too hard to guess. General rule of thumb is that the title refers to either the most important, interesting or funny thing in the episode.

* ''{{Law and Order}}'' originally had episode titles displayed, but stopped doing so shortly into the second season.
* ''{{Lost}}''

* ''{{MASH}}''

* ''{{The X-Files}}'' - the writers considered showing the titles in a subtle way such as using them as the title of case files but decided that not mentioning them added to the mystery.
* ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', with the sole exceptions being "Once More With Feeling" and "Conversations With Dead People".
** And "Bargaining".

* BattlestarGalactica
* ''SabrinaTheTeenageWitch''
* ''SavedByTheBell''
* ''TheRedGreenShow''

* ''{{Futurama}}''

* ''TheSimpsons'' - there were about four exceptions (one of which was a gag where "Bart Gets Hit By A Car" showed up, right before Bart got hit by a car.

* ''{{House}}''

* ''{{Futurama}}'''

* ''{{Millennium}}'' averted the trope in season two, but played it straight in seasons one and three.

* ''KamenRider'' did this between 2001 and 2005. ''KamenRiderAgito'', ''KamenRiderRyuki'', ''KamenRiderFaiz'' and ''KamenRiderBlade'' all did not list episode titles on screen, but the titles were given on the official Web site.

* Some of the anime ''[[FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]]'' localized, like [[YuGiOh Yu-Gi-Oh!]] and ''UltimateMuscle'', suffered from this.
