Alternative TV Show Titles

What would happen if you added, subtracted, or swapped just one letter from the names of your favorite TV shows? Well, for starters, you'd get a completely new set of shows to choose from. You'd also get one hell of an amusing party game. Staff writers Ilana Diamond and Stefanie Lee had a little too much fun one afternoon coming up with taglines and playing around in Photoshop. Enjoy—and don't worry, we have a few more in the vault.

Dancing with the SARS


Under the weather... but still able to cut a rug!

Stop, Chef!


What happens when you send your unwanted plate back to the kitchen?

    My Mother The Cur - Mom\'s transformed into a dog. The tagline could be something about her being a real *** Or Depp Space Nine - Johnny Depp returns to his TV roots with eight clones in outer space.... How I Bet Your Mother - a reality show about addicts who gamble away their kids\' moms.... Wassie - the tender tale of young Elmer Fudd and his pet cowwie.... The Big Bong Theory - Duuuuude.... Pru Calling - Shannen Doherty just won\'t go away.... Oh, and I liked Cringe a lot!

    wow this is a horrible list. You just photoshopped a bunch of pictures. I thought it would be like calling a show a different name. I've totally lost confidence on tv.com. Please bring back tv tome.

    I like how the author is too embarrassed to even put his/her name on the article. Complete waste of time this is. (And I see the irony of wasting my time commenting on a waste of time article)
