Some of My Best Friends
At the last minute, the show was re-titled "Some of My Best Friends", a name reminiscent of the completely unrelated 1971 film "Some of My Best Friends Are...", and cited as "the worst title" by both of the show's leads. "It's like you're looking in the dustbin," complained Nucci. "Let's find the worst title for a sitcom that's a mouthful and nobody will get." Bateman conceded, saying, "Even if you happen to think of the phrase "'some of my best friends are gay",' and I don't think most people will, that still is not that clever... I can't believe that's the [title] they settled on after looking for one for six months."
