In the olden days, especially in the US, sitcoms would often be named for their star - The Mary Tyler Moore Show, for instance. In later years, this formula was contracted but not lost; consider Roseanne or Ellen, where again the focus is on a fictionalised version of the lead.
Having seen Dylan Moran's stand up DVD Monster last night, I can't see why Black Books wasn't just called The Dylan Moran Show (it would have to be the old version of the formula because Dylan would just cause confusion).

Anyone whose only news source is Metro: Stan Lee wasn't the artist who created Spider-Man, he was the writer. And that's for a given, very limited, value of 'writer'. Given how bad his prose is, I dread to think what his doodles look like. The artist (one of several whose limelight Stan seems happy to hog when it comes to Marvel's history) was noted right wing nutter Steve Ditko.

Titan has rivers of methane. Stinky! I always thought Titan was our best chance of finding life. I mean, I'm not expecting anything with which we can have a conversation but even a slime-mold would be fvcking amazing.
