It’s probably a good thing Jim Henson dropped “Woozle World”. All it makes me think of is Heffalumps and Woozles, from “Winnie-the-Pooh.”

The discarded ’45 Minutes from Harlem’ sounds even more leaden when you consider that it was a play on the title of the then-seventy-year-old George M. Cohan song ’45 Minutes from Broadway.’

I feel obligated to point out that although the phrase “Teenage Wasteland” figures prominently into that The Who song, it is actually called Baba O’Riley.

The only one I can picture being named something else is Fraggle Rock –> Woozle World. It’s kinda catchy!

I thought that 70′s show was just a little bit over rated when in comparison to the classics of the 60s 70s and 80s.

“It’s Always Sunny…” was also titled “It’s Always Sunny on TV” because the show was supposed to be so unlike any other TV show.

After the Fonz became a huge hit during the 1st season of Happy Days, they wanted to change the name to Fonzis Happy Days. I believe it was Henry Winkler that voted the idea down.

i remember reading somewhere that ‘that 70′s show’ got it’s name because when they showed its pilot, along with some others, to a test audience, and then asked them which show they liked the best, most of them said they liked ‘that 70′s show’.
