Is it appropriate to italicize a show title in dialogue? That seems up there with something like "I woke up at 6:00" instead of "I woke up at six." We don't speak in italics.

Anyway, it may be a minor detail, but those kinds of things can pull you out of the story and authors should care about that. Plus, you can find the correct name with Google and a few seconds, so there's no reason people shouldn't get it right (although I can see honestly thinking you had the name right and not bothering to check because of that).

I think we do, actually.

Speak in italics, I mean. I use it in dialogue (and uppercase and the occasional bold) to emphasize certain words, to try to capture what people do with intonation, pitch, and volume when speaking.

Re: I think we do, actually.

But that's different. Putting the shw name in italics makes it look like it's emphasized when it's not.

[(Anonymous)]

Totally, dude.

[(Anonymous)]

You can. You're even supposed to do it in articles.

It's also a stylistic thing.

I've never seen a movie/show/book not italicized in dialogue. We don't speak in capital letters, either, and capitals in dialogue are still a thing.
