Though I have never watched the show, I noted that The Rookie, with Nathan Fillion, is in its 7th season and apparently has been renewed for an 8th season. Shouldn't the show be renamed? Generally, you're only a rookie for your first year. Was the naming of the show just a lack of confidence. What are the odds this thing gets a second season? Clearly, better than expected. That was the danger of such a title. There was a webcomic called The Noob, which is a common name for a new player. However, it isn't very long before the character no longer qualified as a noob. Now what? Can't very well change the name now.
Looking at this, I strongly advise producers of a Western TV show to avoid the title of Greenhorn. Don't title a show about college students, The Freshmen. Donald Trump was able to get away with The Apprentice because it was a new group each year.
