A title convention. The show's name is the first half of a sentence, and is completed by whatever is featured in the episode. For example, "The Troper's Guide to... Random Trope".
These titles frequently use ellipsis (but not dramatic ones) or colons.
A subtrope of/related to Idiosyncratic Episode Naming. Contrast Character Name and the Noun Phrase, where there might be some overlap.

Also fairly common in children's book series. For example, The Berenstain Bears, which have title like The Barenstein Bears Count their Blessings or ...and Too Much TV.
The quintessential series in France that fits the trope is Martine.

Most of the episodes of The Magic School Bus form a complete sentence with the show title. Mostly of the "[verb]s [object]" form, like "Plays Ball" or "Spins a Web," but many others still form a descriptive phrase: "Inside Ralphie," "Wet All Over." In the case of "Cold Feet" an apostrophe would have to be added to make it fit, as a possessive. Only one episode fully deviated from this pattern: "The Busasaurus."

Most English Asterix titles are Asterix and X or Asterix in [country] (or on three occasions Asterix the..; ...Gaul, Gladiator and Legionary). The exceptions are Mansions of the Gods and Obelix and Co. The French titles often do this as well, but have a lot more exceptions.
