Shows with stupid names or names they do not deserve?

AMKC

For me its "Operation Transformation" I hate that show because of its name.
Could they not have called it "Operation get Fit" or the fitness show?
So big deal people lose some weight it happens all the time that does not mean the person has transformed into something else they just lost weight. They are still the same person same personality just a little slimmer and fitter.
Now if it had if been a Sex Change show then the name would have been perfect but otherwise no it's a stupid show with a stupid name for it and I for one hate it.

Hyperbollix

They should rename it Operation Emote. That show used to be more focused on the task and less on the "human drama" but like everything it had to be turned into a reality tv blubbathon were large parts of it is just looking at fat people crying about how they won't be there for their kids if they don't get the weight down.

Much prefer Operation Crossbow with George Peppard.

Na operation transformation is better than your 2 names, its television so a little exaduration is good.

Battelstar Galactica is one of the best tv shows ever made but its a really terrible name for a show

A recent one called The Watch. Based on the books by Sir Terry Pratchett. The recent show is a ****ing disgrace that destroys brilliant characters and an entire world.

To make it worse, it's just a bloody bad show.

Lose women.

Very disappointed with the show.

I agree, it's total pants and it should be called 'Operation fat people" who try to get fit, while they make tits of themselves.

Why do you think it's a terrible name? Originally it was all about the Galactica her crew and the rag tag group of ships with it so it made sense.
For the the reimagined one yes they surely could have named it something else but it's still a great show and it's stillostly about the Galactica and her crew just a lot more complicated than the original version.

Think its just the fact that the name would put a lot of people off who dont watch a lot of science fiction.

Months ?

RTE News for years and years started with world headlines and then straight into "but first, today in Northern Ireland".

Well like, nobody is forcing you to watch it, we literally live in an age with unlimited choice and that's what you chose to watch buddy.

I'm sure there is some sort of Bruce/Catline Jenner bull**** story to ease your sex change viewing requirements.

Wow someone has got there knickers in a twist. I never said I was been forced to watch it just that it is a stupid name for it. Believe me I have plenty to watch without watching that.

That's what I thought upon reading it too. However, being somewhat pedantic I checked the definition of millionaire. It is someone with at least 1,000,000 units of currency. Therefore a billionaire is a millionaire, and would only cease to be one by losing more than 99.9% of their wealth (at least). Therefore a billionaire wants to [continue to be] a millionaire.

The TV adaptation of Good Omens was really good actually. But the other stuff I tried was unwatchable alright.
