The New Normal

Maybe it's the success of the return of Dallas, but I sense a trend in this fall's new TV shows--they like naming them after specific places: Chicago Fire, Made In Jersey, Malibu Country,  Vegas, Nashville. (The last one has gotten the best reviews as far as I can tell.)

Titles don't make or break a show, but I can't think of too many great series of the past named after specific, real-life locations.  I'm trying to imagine the titles we would have had if this were the trend:  Mary In Minneapolis, Boston Bar (and sequel Seattle Psychologist), Washington Wing, Albuquerque Blues.  Not sure if they have the same ring.

And in other news, Reese Witherspoon gives birth to a boy named Tennessee. Other names considered were "Cancun" and "Vagina."
