Mar 12, 2015

Share on Reddit


Thanks to Brandon P for the heads up that NBC appear to have renamed their upcoming thriller Odyssey to American Odyssey.

Your guess is as good as mine as to why.

    Why o why, NBC?

    Because they don't want American audiences thinking it's an adaptation of the Ulysses' Odyssey?

    NBC is one interesting network.

    That's a possibility. I liked Odyssey better though.

    It's been almost 9 months since this was ordered to series and they felt the need to change the title now after they have already released a bunch of posters and promos?

    And they only thought of that now?

    It's NBC. What did you expect?

    Ridiculous, Odyssey was better. Not liking the new title.

    The Odyssey would have been fine, but putting American in front of it doesn't sound right.

    Exactly. I have no idea why NBC did this.

    I think the National Bandwagon Channel is trying to appeal to the American Sniper fans lol.

  17. EvanMarch 12, 2015 at 7:44 PM

    I guess they are just doing this to try to get American Sniper kind of viewers to the show. Can't think of any other reason.

    Exactly what I thought.

    Hopefully this won't confuse people.

    It probably will.

  21. Daniel WalshMarch 12, 2015 at 7:47 PM

    I don't think it will, but you never know. The American Public can be very stupid at times.

  22. Babar SuhailMarch 12, 2015 at 7:51 PM

    They gave it a big push during Superbowl and now when they don't "Odyssey" on their TV guides, they will surely be confused.

  23. Daniel WalshMarch 12, 2015 at 7:54 PM

    Also I'm not happy with the advertising from NBC. Those short teasers were really stupid and I don't see enough advertising on NBC as well.

    I don't like it. American on the title seems really unnecesary, it makes it so... unnecesarily patriotic

    I have thought about was one of the worst. But less than a week, here it comes!

    I don't know. I really don't believe a girl can survive in Saudi Arabia while being hunted. They already have strict rules like when going to eat in a mall you need to be with your family. Girls are not allowed to drive and dress codes.I just find it unrealistic. Her survival rate is almost close to none.

    When are they going to announce it's not airing on Sundays at all? It's needed elsewhere.

    ABC is crazy

  30. XYZMarch 12, 2015 at 8:09 PM

    I want them to do a reality show based on the decisions made daily at 30 Rock.


    I really don't know what makes the network go, you know what's a great idea, changing the name one month before airing! Because that will help the show succeed.

    Probably; that's always the first thing thing I thought of when I saw the title. However, I am quite puzzled as to why they are just ding this now, since it was picked up nearly a year ago and is going to be airing soon.

  32. Andrew43March 12, 2015 at 8:13 PM

    Or The Voice Odyssey.

    That's the point.

    The thing is... I don't think most American are even familiar with the original work.

    Are they gonna rename their sniper miniseries to American Reaper as well?

  38. johnhelveteMarch 12, 2015 at 8:49 PM

    That part of the show takes place somewhere in North Africa not Saudi Arabia. Watch the trailer she is not driving a car, she has help from a teenage boy, she wears a disguise, and she is an American soldier etc.

    Dont think the show is patriotic though.

    Oh ok I only saw what looked like a desert so I thought it was somewhere in Middle East.

    TV titles with the "Americans" on it have been quit successful lately to say the least. I mean American Horror Story, The Americans, American Crime now on abc, can't blame NBC for trying to cash in. lol
