"most of the actors and actresses have aged greatly since the series was first screened" - any information on which ones have managed to avoid this? :) Jahrsper (talk) 00:25, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, in a sense Robert Addie has. He passed away in 2003. Avmarle (talk) 12:38, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I placed a citation request tag on the intro's parenthetical aside claiming that the show was "retitled Robin Hood in the United States" because this doesn't appear to have happened. I subscribed to Showtime (the original US venue) and caught the final series (with Jason Connery instead of Michael Praed) and the title was indeed Robin of Sherwood. Later, my regional edition of TV Guide magazine listed it, still under that title, on a PBS station outside my locality. Hence, I request a source for this alleged American retitling. --Tbrittreid (talk) 22:55, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Tbrittreid's memory is spot on. Brooks and Marsh have no reference to any series titled Robin Hood. The Adventures of Robin Hood (TV series)|The Adventures of Robin Hood (with Richard Greene) was shown with that title on CBS 1955–1958. Doug butler (talk) 09:07, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I found an issue of New York magazine online with TV listings for January 21st, 1991. This listing features Showtime showing a program called Robin Hood: The Seven Poor Knights From Acre.

Now, there was a Robin of Sherwood episode titled "The Seven Poor Knights From Acre". Maybe this means Robin of Sherwood was re-titled Robin Hood in some regions of the US? 188.141.25.160 (talk) 23:01, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, see this

"The British tend to take such crucial adjustments a bit more seriously, at least as far as a weekly series called Robin Hood is concerned. Carried here on the pay-cable service Showtime, the program, made by Britain's Goldcrest Films and TV Ltd., starred Michael Praed in the title role for its first two seasons."

In the Overview section it says: "In the opening story, Robin Hood and the Sorcerer, Robin and his half-brother Much fall foul of the Sheriff's henchman"

But under The Merry men it says: "Born the son of Anglo-Saxon nobleman Ailric of Loxley, Robin was raised by his uncle, the local miller"

If the latter is correct. that makes Robin and Much first cousins. If it's the former, that must mean Robin and Much have the same mother. So which is it?

The latter is correct. I removed half-brother from the text. Gollem (talk) 15:06, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
