“Two and a Half Men” should at least be “Two and Three Quarters Men” by now. Or maybe “Two Men and an Obnoxious Teenager”.
Any others?
With all the hooking up they did, Friends should have been “Friends…with benefits.”
For years I’ve been saying that Modern Marvels should change it’s name to “Neat Stuff” since a lot of their shows aren’t really about modern things anymore.
If Charlie Sheen doesn’t come back next year it’ll be 1¾ Men and a Surly Maid.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer should have become Buffy the All-Purpose Demon Slayer. Or even Buffy the Theocide.
ETA: Now that I think about it, while Buffy defeated Glory, Giles did the actual killing. Giles the Theocide?
Smallville should really be called Metropolis by now.
In sports, NASCAR has not had stock cars since about 1965. If you ever see some videos of races from the 1950s, one thing emphasized was how all the parts used in these cars could be bought in your local auto parts store.
And in baseball, having only one Canadian team hardly qualifies as a World Series.
I think you mean deicide.
Last week in “Once actually lost but nowadays there by choice, with alternative counterparts that never were even lost to begin with”…
And of course, Prison Break should have changed names every season: “Prison Break”, “Manhunt Escape”, “Prison Break: South American edition”, and “The A-Team 2010”.
Shouldn’t Smallville be called Metropolis now?
Mythbusters should be called We Blow Stuff Up But Good. I have nothing against blowing stuff up good, but I don’t think they’ve dealt with any actual myths or urban legends for years.
Alan is the half-measure of the household, isn’t he?
Naw, the original title still fits; I watched the latest episode, and immediately said “Well, I’m lost.”
I was going to say Mythbusters should be We’ve Really Just Been Jerking Off For A Couple Of Years Now.
Laverne & Shirley should’ve been renamed Laverne Alone after Shirley quit.
It was called the World Series when all the teams were from about five northeastern cities. Having one Canadian team in the league has nothing to do with why it has that name.
The Scottish produced police detective TV series “Taggart”, is still called that, despite the fact the actor who played the title role died in 1994 and he wasn’t replaced
1¾ Men, a Surly Maid, a Cute Psycho, and Two Mothers from Hell.
Family Matters didn’t change its name to The Urquel Show
Stargate Universe would still be a crappy show, but it wouldn’t be as bad if it wasn’t placed within the Stargate fictional universe. Call it Destiny or something.
