Better Off Ted was a surprisingly good show. It was unique and sardonic in a way that really separated it from so much drivel on the airways.

More specifically, Portia De Rossi's Veronica was one of the greatest comic characters created this century. Losing that comedy goldmine is tragic.

That's a brilliant idea. One of the wittiest shows and the basic idea of R&D seemed to be an unlimited goldmine.

Yo! Schitts Creek! I typed it, re-typed it, went ahead and cheated and Googled it, sure enough I was totally spelling it right this time. What the...

OK, I realize Dawson's Creek is the more famous show by far, but all kidding aside, would you consider accepting both Schitt's and Dawson's for the answer?

These American television shows have first names in the title. Fill in the blanks.

I did think of that as well but it clearly states first names.

If it didn't that could be argued a bit more

I may be wrong on this one, but I am pretty sure Nikita is a Canadian show...I remember that when it was out, Canadians were proud that the top show in the US was Canadian made for a short period of time (we take what little victories we can get).
