71 TV Comedies With Titles Even Worse Than ‘And Just Like That…’

Does the ‘Sex and the City’ sequel series have a crappy title? Sure. But there are a lot more that out-bad it by a mile
71 TV Comedies With Titles Even Worse Than ‘And Just Like That…’

Since the purpose of a TV revival or remake is to hook you by reminding you of a show you already liked in the past, the title you know is, generally, also revived. There’s One Day At A Time (1975) and One Day At A Time (2017); there’s The Wonder Years (1988) and The Wonder Years (2021). When Will & Grace and Roseanne came back in the late 2010s, they both used the same title, as Frasier will later this year. And though Fuller House, How I Met Your Father and That ’90s Show don’t have exactly the same titles as the shows they’re spun off from, the relationship between progenitor and progeny is clear. 

When Sex and the City came back in 2021, however, it broke from tradition. Although the setting, three of its four leads and all their (initial) love interests were familiar from the original HBO dramedy, this new iteration was called And Just Like That… — a new chapter for the characters required it, according to star Kristin Davis at the time.

But it’s a strange choice. Leaving aside the potential brand confusion, there’s the fact that it’s not even the copy-filler Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is most known for in her sex columns/narration: Most fans would go to “I couldn’t help but wonder” first (even though that usage is grammatically incorrect). 

Moreover, as the title for a TV comedy, And Just Like That… is kind of a dud as well. It’s as meaningless and dull as Sex and the City was buzzy and specific. But it turns out the history of TV comedy titles is littered with mistakes — titles that over-promise, that are too generic, that rest on the name of a character we may or may not know, to cite just a few title sins. 

In fact, we’ve collected 71 of them from this century alone. Get ready to roll your eyes so hard that you won’t see straight for a week, which is maybe a good thing given how bad these show titles are.
