Sitcom Titles Go Creative

Favourite this post


so it has come to my attention that there seems to be new a trend with title names for stories on TV.  It seems we have been moving away from your boring titles such as Cheers, Different Strokes and Living Single.

Well i am making a reference to comedies as it seems the trend is more with them that any other programmes on the telly

names like 

8 Simple Rules of Dating my Teenage Daughter



I know my first name is Steven

The New adventures of Old Christine


Two and a Half Men

How i met Your Mother

My Name is Earl

My Wife and Kids

seem to be current trend being set.

annd it seems as though SA is slowing catching (do we always have to follow vele?)

with titles such 4 Play: Sex Tips for girls it seems more will be coming soon.

this is my little observation lately? any interesting titles you have come across lately?

 @Jinxed- (do we always have to follow vele?)- 
i think this is one field we are not gonna follow, think emzini we zinsizwa to moferefere lenyalong to bo mponeng and the likes of city cesla (which was one of the best sitcoms to come out of south africa though it was criticized for being south african version of friends).

sorry about that. 

on dramas/comedy 

greek, castle, brothers and sisters and desperate housewives rocks.  dirty money is okay but i just dont get it why that guy as the Dallas lawyer agrees to throw parties for the Dallas children why? Gossip Gal is cool and i think the name would really fit BS anywhere where is she these days
