The Original Series	comment	You may be looking for the original Star Trek. When starting a new show, TV producers rarely can anticipate how successful it will be with the audience. But let's assume the show got popular, The Firefly Effect didn't hit it, and a row of sequels is inbound. Now, some producers play it simple and stick with season numbering. But the more creative types go for oddly named sequels and thus, confront the fans with a difficult question: how do you refer to the first show, if its title is already used to refer to the entire franchise? Solution: "The Original Series". Long time fans may well insist on referring to the original work by the franchise's name. A subtrope of Retronym.

The Original Series / int_28508de	comment	Winx Club: The first four seasons (2004-2009) are the original series. The show was relaunched by Nickelodeon in 2011 with newly animated specials that retold Seasons 1 and 2. In 2014, DVD releases of the first season were titled "The Original Season 1" to avoid confusion with the Nickelodeon specials.

The Original Series / int_49ad83ee	comment	As an example of the above bullet point, each expansion for World of Warcraft has its own name: "World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade", "World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King", and "World of Warcraft: Cataclysm." Which leaves players with a conundrum: If someone asks "In which expansion did they add thus-and-such class/race/game mechanic?", how do you answer when it was added back during the original game run, before the first expansion? Blizzard refers to this time period as "World of Warcraft Classic", but the de facto consensus among the players is to refer to it as "Vanilla World of Warcraft".

However, later seasons dropped the "Futari wa", making the franchise Pretty Cure and freeing the first season from having to be called The Original Series.

Those of note include The Price Is Right, Match Game, Password and Jeopardy!. The diginet Buzzr runs the original Price and Password while very few of the original eps of the others exist.

The Original Series / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The first game in the series was just The Legend Of Zelda, and the second was Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, but every game after that was just called The Legend of Zelda: (something). The first game, therefore, can be referred to as "Zelda 1", "the original Zelda", etc. For wiki purposes, we refer to it as The Legend of Zelda I code-wise (the name is still customized as "The Legend of Zelda"), following the Roman numeral designation of the second game. Relatedly, it had the subtitle "The Hyrule Fantasy" in Japan, but this never made it out of the country. The corresponding text on the title screen was turned into "The Legend of".

The second show with the name, originally intended as a Continuity Reboot but later brought into the existing universe (during the show's run, as part of a Retool), is officially called Kamen Rider (New) in Japan and known as New Kamen Rider among English-speaking fans, though The Other Wiki in both languages and this wiki call it Kamen Rider: Skyrider after a new superhero name was given to the protagonist during the Retool.

The Original Series / int_a96a7ada	comment	The Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise approaches this in a few different ways by region and medium. The first anime series titled Yu-Gi-Oh!, produced by Toei Animation, is often referred to by English-speaking fans as "Season 0", despite being an entirely separate adaptation from the better-known second anime that was released worldwide. Said second anime, meanwhile, was also originally released worldwide as just Yu-Gi-Oh!, but now tends to be referred to more specifically as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, the name by which it aired in Japan. As for the original manga itself, the Viz translation split it into three parts: Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World. There's no official subtitle for the first part, though it's sometimes referred to as "The Shadow Games".

The 1978 episodes, which are part of The Scooby-Doo Show, are often mislabeled as part of Where Are You! for complicated reasons. note When ABC originally aired the 1978 episodes, they were separate from Scooby's All-Stars and had the Where Are You! opening affixed to them. It was getting clobbered in the ratings by the new Popeye show on CBS, so by November ABC moved the separate Scooby show to being a segment of All-Stars.

The Original Series / int_d5ddd6c1	comment	The PokÃ©mon anime's original series mostly refers to the Kanto arc, with the technical addition of the Orange Islands the Johto arcs simply because they didn't have subtitles. With rare exception, every series is a direct continuation of the previous one, minus Ash dropping his current PokÃ©mon lineup outside of Pikachu. Official sources have retroactively named the first season (as in, the one based on PokÃ©mon Red and Blue, which established the first generation of PokÃ©mon games) as PokÃ©mon: Indigo League. While the opening theme songs of later seasons are usually referred to by name, the first one is simply called "PokÃ©mon Theme."

The Original Series / int_ec28245c	comment	Enforced by Dragon Ball Z, rendering the previous 153 episodes as just "Dragon Ball". This is one of the more unique examples because the Z suffix was only added so that Toei could market it as if it were a brand new anime seriesnote Which wasn't really the case: it was still based on the ongoing manga by Akira Toriyama, which didn't change its name it all and kept going as normal. The major changes fans cite, such as the introduction of science fiction elements, already existed beforehand but weren't as prominent. As such, most fans tend to call it "the original anime", "the first series" or "OG-DB". This has gotten easier thanks to the introduction of Dragon Ball Super: Dragon Ball Z's popularity in the West meant that "DBZ" was frequently used to refer to the entire franchise, but Super has made it more logical to refer to the whole franchise as "Dragon Ball", thus calling more attention to the original episodes.
