How to handle a Series Name Change in the middle of a season
The Mr. Garlund (1960) series changed its title at the 7th episode to Garlund Touch. How does IMDb handle this and how should I enter this change so that IMDb does not show them as separate shows? I am hesitant to enter the remaining episodes until I know how to do this properly.

Hi @mqprod -
In this scenario, the primary title should be the original title of the series (the title the series first aired under), you can then list the changed title text as an alternate title with the attribute "new title".
I have now made the applicable alternate title updates, so the listing will remain with the primary title "Mr. Garland", and the changed title "The Garland Touch" will be listed as an alternate title.
I hope this helps!
