Does anyone out there know why this series was called The Unusuals? Is it a takeoff of The Untouchables? It seems odd, since the term is never used in the series as far as I can tell (I'm halfway through it). The characters are kind of unusual, but not so unusual as to warrant the title of the show.
Anyone out there have any insight?
Great show, by the way.
I think it is a play on the term the usual suspects

My best guess is that it's because the main characters and their cases had some quirkiness. Plus it makes the characters sound a little like a superhero team, thereby letting potential viewers know it's going to be lighthearted. Plus, ultimately you have to name shows something, right?
My main problem with the title is that I find it a little bland, and thus often unmemorable. Many were the times that I wanted to recommend this show to friends, only to remember nothing more than that the title started with "un."
