Move over, Dirty Sexy Money and Women’s Murder Club — apparently, ABC has begun to truly embrace its status as the network for shamelessly (but hilariously) bad show titles, because their latest endeavor into title-world is an absolute gem:
The title is some unholy network-executive force-f*ck of 80s classic “Better Off Dead” and the playful stupidness of “Good Luck Chuck,” all married together in one nice, tidy title that I refrained from posting about because I assumed it had to be on Lifetime, a channel which has been officially disqualified in the running for Worst Title on Television after Side Order of Life.
Just so I don’t seem like I’m tearing down without creating, I’ve come up with 15 show titles that would have been slightly less stupid and lazy than Better Off Ted (please leave your own in the comments):
15. A Fish Out Of Walter
14. No Big Dale
13. Two Peas In A Rod
12. Can’t Teach An Old Doug New Tricks
11. Waste Not Walt Not
10. Don’t Get Mad, Get Steven
9. Like Taking Candy From A Bill-by
8. A Stitch In Tim Saves Nine
7. Built Like A Rick Sh*thouse
6. Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down This Will
5. Keep Your Friends Close And Your Ernie Closer
4. Any Tom, Dick, Or Barry
3. Four Score and Seven Mike Ago
2. Laughter Is The Best Ted-icine (SPIN-OFF!!!!)
1. The Only Thing We Have To Fear Is Phil Itself
