20 Side-By-Side Images That Show How These Popular TV Shows And Movies Were Named At First

This one would have worked either way

Also, the movie that predates the series was called "Buffy the vampire slayer". Simply "Slayer" gives me metal vibes. Especially considering the time period it started airing

I want to know where this information comes from. Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, made it to reboot the movie, which was not very popular. Incidentally, Joss Whedon was also involved in the production of the original movie.

Um, but this was based on a movie. Why would they have called it Slayer when they literally got their title from the movie? Seems to me like BtVS was the original title and they considered changing it but didn't. A little misleading.

"Sally take my hand, we'll travel south cross land, put out the fire and don't look past my shoulder"

Such a good song.. so would've worked for this show

Reminds me of Jakob dylans song letters from the wasteland

I appreciate the nod to Baba O'reilly

"Boomer grower"

Can't stand that character regardless... Rowan Atkinson is excellent in Black Adder though!

Well, easier to pronounce than asparagus

Pretty sure he was originally going to be called Mr Potato

Who is Kenny?

Thank God they changed it.

My favorite one is berntette I cannot spell lol

Not enough names and just a stupid title.

owl stretching time has a nice ring to it

Makes almost as much sense.

They also thought of giving it a different name every episode.

What is this?

What does this mean? An owl is stretching time, or it's time to stretch owls?

It would spoil the crappy finale. It led to nowhere indeed.

This started out well but the writers "LOST" the plot .

STILL never seen so much as an episode of this show. Think I'll go download it and give it a shot

Same same but different.

it was also almost called insomnia cafe, across the hall and others ( 100 names altogether)

"One of us..."

Sounds like a Borg designation!

This kinda goes with the theory of it all being in what's her buckets head. Lmao.

Yeah... The name on the right would've tanked this show from the start. The insinuation it's just a rehash of an old comedy wouldn't have gone over well, more than likely

"Men in Shoes".

It's "A dreadfully nice family" in Germany

I hated this show it was stupid!!!

Actually hate this show, no matter what the name would have been :S

if stranger things was called Montauk i've never have watched it

I remember seeing STRANGER THINGS and being curious. MONTAUK doesn't have the same appeal -- I might have assumed it was about a hockey team.

Montauk would've been interesting. Ref to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

hehe that is my profile pic lol

true

I miss this show!

This was a great show. Then in 2018 it was rebooted and it was AMAZINGLY C**P!

I loved this show, although it did get a bit preachy when McGowan joined. Guess now we know why, she's just a whiny twat. Luckily the producers learned their lesson and... wait, nope, they ROYALLY fubared the reboot by doubling down on the McGowan ethos and effectively erasing any goodwill the original show had built. Now when you say charmed most people roll their eyes or groan as it's synonymous with SJW sanctimony.
