Members Darn Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 Another name for Grey's Anatomy was Complications. Which I think is frankly better but GA has worked out pretty well for them so what do I know? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 It's certainly better than MY suggested title: "The REAL General Hospital." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted May 26, 2020 Members Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) The Colby's did originally have Dynasty II: The Colby's in the title. Apparently one of the suggestions was originally to have Dynasty air two times a week with focus on different sets of characters (at least I'd assume that Joan, John and Linda wouldn't have agreed to a schedule forcing them to film twice as much). It might've worked considering how many amazing characters they had that went underused like Dominique and Caress. The original suggested title for Beverly Hills 90210 was Class of Beverly Hills (which ended up being the pilot title). In hindsight, nothing having the word "class" probably helped them transition out of school eventually. Edited May 26, 2020 by te. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted July 14, 2020 Members Share Posted July 14, 2020 Came here to post this. Ah yes, but there's a double entendre with the word class when dealing with the upper echelon of Beverly Hills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
