I have a theory about the names of shows and their success.

I've started watching Mythic Quest, it's great! But I've known about it for years (from its always sunny podcast) and actively chose not to watch it. I think this is due to 1 key thing: The name 'Mythic Quest' does not follow sitcom title theories, and misleads potential viewers about the concept of the show. The name theories are based on telling the potential viewer about:  1. The name of the main character/description of them (ex. Ted Lasso, New Girl), 2. The name of the ensemble characters/description of them (The Simpsons, The Inbetweeners) 3. The relationships of the characters (ex. Friends, Modern Family), 4. The setting of the show (Schitt's Creek, Community) 5. The job of the characters (The office, Superstore) And titles can often fit into several categories, ex. Sex and The city (relationships of characters and setting) or Community (Relationships and setting), or Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Job and setting). (6. Science based relationship shows seem to title the show after something scientifically significant to the characters, ex. The Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy. Although my theory is about sitcom titles, and medical shows do not fit into the sitcom category, a medical show usually follows the theories of 1(the main character ex. House, or The Good Doctor), 4 (the setting ex. Chicago Med) or 5 (the job ex. Scrubs). I'm sure everyone could name countless shows that do not fit into one of the theories, but we must question, how successful were they, and could they have been more successful with a better name? The problem with the name Mythic Quest is it does not fit into any of the categories clearly enough. It is the name of the company, but does not describe the setting or the jobs. If we were to change the name to fit into the theories, the title would be Mythic Quest Studios (as is titled the workplace in the show), which tells us much more about what we would be encountering in the show. When the title of a sitcom is much too vague i.e, Mythic Quest, it allows the potential viewer to mislead themselves, making assumptions about the show and possibly choosing not to watch. Or when it is much too specific the viewer already thinks they know exactly what the show will be about ex. Abott's Elementary, and nothing about the title pulls them to watch it, it is based then only on personal preference. Furthermore, I think Mythic Quest as the name of the game is cool. But you should NOT use a game title for your sitcom. The title of a game is used for game shows, ex. Countdown, Wheel of Fortune, Beast Games. These shows are named after their games because they are reality game shows playing the game. So for Mythic Quest to follow the theory of a game show title confuses the potential viewer. When a sitcom title does not follow the name theories, it leads astray potential viewers, resulting in lower viewership, less funding and ultimately contributing to the cancellation of the show.
