How to find duplicate rows based on multiple fields in MySQL?

In a MySQL database I have many rows. For example:
id | title   | time  | domain
32   title1    12:30   domain1.com
33   title1    12:30   domain2.com
34   title2    14:20   domain1.com
35   title3    14:30   domain2.com
36   title1    12:30   domain55.com
How am I able to select rows from a database based on only title and time? 
Duplicate domains or ID's are not of concern, only the other two fields.
I want to be able to retrieve rows 32, 33 and 36 because they have identical 
titles and identical times.
I don't want to have to put in a title or time, I want the query to return all fields 
where there's a "duplicate" match found on these two fields whether that be only 
two or 50. That way I can go through and edit or delete some of the duplicates.

Here is what you want
SELECT title, time  
  FROM table
GROUP BY title, time
  HAVING count(*) > 1
