Talk:The Trap (American TV series)

Removal of mention of Sure as Fate
I have removed the following sentence and citation: "The name of the show eventually became Sure as Fate. The basis for saying that the name was changed apparently came from the way the cited text mentions "The Trap/Sure as Fate", which would seem to indicate that the two titles belong to one program. In contrast, Erik Barnouw's The Golden Web says about William N. Robson, "Shortly afterward he was sent to New York and assigned to a new CBS television series, Sure as Fate -- a mystery series. It had its debut in the summer of 1950." The August 28, 1950, issue of the trade publication Broadcasting has two articles that mention Sure as Fate. CBS executive J. L. Van Volkenburg wrote, in part, "New dramatic programs such as Big Town and Sure as Fate will make their appearance ..." Another article refers to Robson's role: "Mr. Robson has been assigned as producer-writer for Sure as Fate, a dramatic series."

Perhaps someone can find more evidence for the two titles belonging to the same program, but the sources cited above seem to me to indicate that Sure as Fate was not just a new title for The Trap.Eddie Blick (talk) 18:39, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
