But think of all the other TV titles that would need to be changed - "Diff'rent Strokes", for one!

I caught all three minutes of the show after "My Boys" last night (which I thought is a good one - I'd love to hear what you thought of it), and I had to bail.

Sometimes having the producer of a show as the star works (Seinfeld, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia). This time it did not.

That guy was horrible and the script (all three minutes that I saw) didn't help at all.

I'm still getting around to watching My Boys as well as Big Day. But whichever three minutes you saw of 10 Items?¢‚Ǩ¬¶, it probably doesn't make much of a difference since it was of pretty even quality throughout.
