Umm, whoever changed my “L&O , the resurrection,” to “L&O, The Resurrection ,” the way I wrote it originally is correct. The words “the resurrection” are not part of the title, just my joking way of differentiating the show that came back to life in 2020 after being off the air for 10 years, from the original flagship show that aired from 1990-2010.
Changed the designator.

Robert “Bobby” Brady
I think the only time he ever calls himself “Robert” is when he’s a witness in court because Carol is taken to small claims by a guy with whom she had a fender-bender in a grocery store parking lot.
“What’s your name?”
“Robert Brady, your honor.”
And the category is “Television Roberts” did not say “non-fictional”
Shows that bend, riff, or spoof a genre
