So, yeah, I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about. TV shows with names that are meant to pun with something the show is about and the main character's name. Grey's Anatomy. New Amsterdam. Etc.

Come up with your own pitch for a punny show.

Gresham's Law: Join Secret Service agent John Gresham as he attempts to crack down on counterfeiters.

Complete Bitch

Snuggles, the family dog wasnt always a complete happy family dog. When she was younger, she was an orphan, and she was beaten and raped by her owner. There was nothing left of her self esteem but bits and pieces. When she met the Wilsons, they brought her in, fed her, gave her a warm dog house, and a boyfriend. Her life is good. She felt more complete...she is finally a complete bitch. This is her story.
