[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 103013, member: 57984"] I agree, I think. I don't like overly-literal self-descriptive titles like "Scandal" or "Dirty Sexy Money" -- it's like calling a scripted cop show "Procedural Law Enforcement" (which sounds like a mini-doc series) or a sitcom "Funny Situations" (which does, too). Many have made that same point over the years. But naming a sitcom after the lead star seems to have been '60s/'70s/'80s convention. Today, it would sound even more bizarre than it did then, and they don't really do it. Reportedly, consideration was given to calling Moore's sitcom "Love Is All Around" based on the theme song.
