I just saw that, Worst Title Ever

Patman 05-16-04 09:19 PM

Well, "Fleet" appears to be one of the main corporate sponsers in the city of Boston, so this is what they picked for the rhyme-y title. I thought it was pretty bad as well.

They should have called it "Denny Crane". :D

mikehunt 05-16-04 09:38 PM

Denny Crane would have been kind of cool

Fleet Street is where all the newspapers are based in London, or historically has been.

I once sarcastically said they should call this new series <i>Shore Nuff</i>. Now that it has this terrible name, I wonder if mine wouldn't be better.

Mine was "Shore Leave" (and have Alan hop from lawfirm to lawfirm each year and have a different cast around him each year).

I'm not from Boston, but isn't Fleet St. a major thoroughfare in Boston?

Patman 05-17-04 10:30 AM

Yes, plus there's a "FleetBoston" pavillion for concerts/etc.

Jadzia 05-17-04 10:49 AM

They should have called it Practice Makes Perfect. :D

Patman 05-17-04 11:32 AM

Or "The DEK Political Hour"

ABC Turns 'Fleet Street' Into 'Boston Legal'
By Brian Ford Sullivan

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- ABC has opted to retitle its upcoming spin-off of "The Practice." Originally branded "The Practice: Fleet Street," the series will now feature the simpler moniker "Boston Legal."

No reason was given for the change. Here's how ABC's press materials describe the series:

Alan Shore and Denny Crane lead the brigade of high-priced civil litigators in an upscale Boston law firm in a series focusing on the professional and personal lives of brilliant, but often emotionally-challenged, attorneys. Fast-paced, darkly comedic, the series will confront social issues, moral conscience, safe sex, pursuit of happiness and money, with varying degrees of priority. Escape to the law firm on One Fleet Street. Where anything goes… and often will.

Patman 07-01-04 11:44 AM

Bring in Jeri Ryan and call it "Boston Public Legal".

das Monkey 07-01-04 11:46 AM

Bring in Kaley Cuoco, and call it <i>Boston Barely Legal</i>.

Jadzia 07-01-04 11:48 AM

Hmmm, sounds like Boston Public. :)

mikehunt 07-01-04 03:08 PM

boston legal is better than (Star)Fleet Street
"to boldly go where no money digging lawyer has sued before"
