Line 16:
** This is somewhat common for early comics: Because they were almost all anthology titles, or had one primary story and one back-up story that would change intermittently, the titles are generally just supposed to be dynamic and interesting sounding, and sometimes reflecting their given genre; as such, some writers would just borrow their name from the title they were going to write for when coming up with the character. Hence, when Gardner Fox got an assignment for ''Flash Comics'', he created the first incarnation of super-speedster The Flash.
* ''Pryde & Wisdom'', a series about Kitty Pryde and Pete Wisdom.
* ''Hawk and Dove'', created in 1968 and playing on the political labels "hawk" and "dove" for those supporting and opposed to the [[Vietnam War]].
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
* A blissfully short-lived series called ''Sunday in Paris''. Sunday was the main character, and Paris was the one in Texas.
* The short lived, early-90s show ''Mann & Machine" featured a futuristic detective named Mann [[Robots And Detectives|and his robot partner]] (played by Yancy Butler).
* ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' had a sketch featuring a game show parody called "What is ''[[Burn Notice]]''?" The contestants had no idea, and one of the wrong answers was a guess that it was "about the detective team of Michael Burn and Chet Notice."
* One episode of ''[[Married... with Children]]'' saw a network making a TV show based off of the Bundy family; the show was titled "Pease in a Pod". No points for guessing the family's name.
* ''[[Raising Hope]]'' and ''[[Running Wilde]]'', a pair of back-to-back sitcoms on Fox. The former is about raising a baby named Hope. The latter is about a guy named Wilde who runs an eponymous oil business.
Line 64 ⟶ 65:
* A man who's last name is Chance dies and turns into a ghost. Yes, it's a short-lived sitcom named "Ghost of a Chance".
* '''[[Hart of Dixie]]'' - She's Zoe Hart, and she's a heart surgeon!
* ''Murphy's Law'' - He's an undercover cop named Tommy Murphy.
