Running Wilde

Decent. Has some promise. Makes me miss Arrested Development that much more.

Never saw it. But am sure it sucks ass. Bet it doesn't make it 5 episodes.

I suppose this is as good a thread as any to put my frustation at the titling trope of "Gerunding Proper Noun."

Running Wilde, Raising Hope, Chasing Amy, Judging Amy, Killing Zoe, Boxing Helena, Crossing Jordan, etc.

Anyway, I'm sure this one will be in a dead heat with Raising Hope for me not caring.

Ignoring the feature films'd

*Usually the proper noun, which is generally the main character's name but also the same as or similar to a word that would render the title a familiar idiomatic phrase

[J. Walter Weatherman]

Come to think of it (and speaking purely pedantically), none of those '-ing' words are gerunds at all.

Yeah, but "Gerunding" sounds more amusing.

Grammar homos. Can't you find something else to spend your time with?

I have a feeling...somewhere in the world...someone is calling for a bunt.

I have a feeling that I don't think I can follow up with.

I wanted to make a similar point but I fell asleep halfway through trying to muster up enough give-a-shit to write it down.

Fuck all of these shows. I can imagine the suited goons in a big board room coming up with these retarded names and then chuckling like they're residents of the fucking monkey house at Brookfield Zoo.

Examples and synopses:

Beating Offe - John Offe is king of the ring in this boxing-centric comedy. He's got the title belt and four friends are determined to beat him and take the crown. Hilarity ensues.

Smoking Pole - Marius Franticzewski is a tobacco lobbyist in Washington DC. He's got looks and charm but his Polish background causes him to engage in such silly acts as raking leaves directly from the tree or incorrectly interpreting road signs to mean that the destination had mysteriously uprooted and vanished. Hilarity ensues.

Heaving Breasts - Ron Balderdash is a legendary chicken thrower in a fictional universe where...

Meh.
