Name That Toon

Our own Jay Stephens needs your help:

I’ll admit it, I’m upset. News from way up high at Cartoon Network is that we have to change the name of our animated series from ‘The Secret Saturdays’, a title that everybody I’ve ever spoken to loves (including very nearly everyone at Cartoon Network itself!), to ‘The Secret Adventures Of Zak Saturday’, which sounds remarkably similar to ‘The Sweet Life Of Zack and Cody’ or ‘The Life and Times Of Juniper Lee’. Ugh. The worst part is that the new title isn’t as good at reflecting what our show is really about… it’s like calling the Fantastic Four ‘Johnny Storm and his amazing Friends’. Please let CN know which title you like best here. Thanks.

    Thy bidding is done.

    Hopefully you’ll get to keep the name.

    So is it some higher up suits that want the name change?

    Looking forward to the new series.

    Done and done. I can’t imagine WHY they would want to change the name of your show. It’s perfect the way it is. ‘The Secret Adventures of Zak Saturday’ is just to much of a clunky mouthful.

    I agree, Patricia! Why on earth would they want a silly name that’s too long when they had such a snappy title to begin with? I guess that’s just how it goes. Who understands management, right? lol

    Sounds like Editorial meddling at its finest. “Secret Adventures” sounds rather unseemly, when run through the adolescent-boy filter. Anyway, good luck in the fight. I’ve contributed my two-cents over on the CN site.
