Saw this in the new SOD:

Q:Who came up with the name for AMC's Zarf?

A: "Writer Chip Hayes did," sighs Megan McTavish, "Now we're sort of regretting it, because of Zarf/Zach: we all go mad typing that. But then we have the Joe/Jack/Jamie/JR/Josh group too, and we go a little mad about that. But when I'm laying out a day and I'm trying to say Zach or Zarf and I keep getting them mixed up, I go, Chip how could you do this?"

Only a hack writer could get any characters mixed up :blink:

So they didn't think about all of that ahead of time?

Not to mention the name Zarf rhymes with BARF. What Trannie would name themselves "Zarf"?

Nope it doesn't look like it, are we really surprised

They didn't think this one through, cause if they were wanting to do Bianca and Zarf, it becomes "Barf"

Wow.

Thanks for posting this because it is kind of funny....but then just plain scary.

She thinks Zach/Zarf is bad, but there's JR/Jeff/Joe/Josh/Jamie/Julia/Jack/Jonathan

That's the only reason they regret it?

LoL!

And how are JR and Jonathan anything alike? Aside from, y'know... the obvious.

Don't worry Megan Zach won't be around that much longer.

I personally think all the J names are much worse. Maybe it should be "All My J's"

After reading your topic heading, I thought you were talking about today's show. Just reading the summary of it made me queasy, so I think I'll just skip it altogether.

But speaking of your topic heading, I remember when they had Trevor, Travis and Trask - I think they were all on at the same time around 1990 (when the show was SO much better).

How can they mix up the names when they do not sound anything alike and just look completely opposite? That's McT for you and all the more reason to get rid of her

Yep that's exactly what I was thinking and furthur proof of what a hack she is

The woman confuses characters' names because a lot of them have names that start with the same letter.

Honestly, I think some people are just grasping at anything they can just to bash McT.

But it still doesn't make sense, any writer worth their salt would know the characters they write for INSIDE AND OUT! The "starts with the same letter" ish is just BS.

We don't need to grasp for anything in order to bash McTavish. This is just the cherry on the sundae. No real writer who knew her characters and plots would find themselves in that situation.

It's not a huge deal obviously and I've heard other writers admit to the same thing (surprisingly all hacks) but it's a stupid thing to admit to when everyone already questions your intelligence.
