Failed television show ideas.
There are a lot of tv shows which were very successful, which would have flopped if they'd had slightly different titles.

For instance: Murder, She Wrote = Successful show.

Urinating in Public, She Wrote = Cancelled in two weeks.

Any other examples you can think of?

18. Well, she said that all the way from the door of this guy's room...
You could see the little critters hopping all over him! She said something about being tempted to throw his meals in to him. Also referred to the scabies as "crotch crickets".

She's English. They're like that, you know.
