I would just write the name of the TV show in capital letters, instead. I only use italics when I mention other book titles, or book series, and I have never been penalised for that.Stephanie Cameron wrote: ↑24 Feb 2023, 10:55 I used the name of a t.v. show in my review. I am unsure if this needs to be in italics since it is a title of a show.

Thank you for reaching out. Since this is a grammatical question, I have moved this to a more appropriate forum. In the future, please post all grammar-related questions in this forum. Thanks!

Although OBC does not follow a particular style guide, if it is a TV series, I recommend italicizing it. If it is an episode, use quotes. This link explains it well and gives examples. When there is a conflict between style guides, I use CMOS, but as long as you can support your usage with any style guide, you are fine.Stephanie Cameron wrote: ↑24 Feb 2023, 10:55 I used the name of a t.v. show in my review.
