Better titles that might have saved this show.


I think one of the key aspects of this show's demise was the title. Just spit balling some better alternatives.

Little Things.
Secret Wishes.
The Devil's in the Details.
The Drake
...what you wish for.
Park Avenue Lost.
Behind These Walls.
Renovation.
Idle Hands.
House of the Dragon.
Twist.
The Devil's Playthings.

I don't really see any of those names being suitable...the most suitable one would obviously be "The Drake". Maybe 999 Park Avenue would have worked out better for them.

Even something as simple as Park Avenue Estates could have worked...it doesn't have to have a great title, but certainly shouldn't have one that would automatically turn a portion of people off.

The Drake.

The Drake would have been cool and could be a spin off? but what killed it was total lack of support from day one in the show by the network, bad cgi (so bad) and some terrible characters and loose direction. Honest who cared about that awful distracting love triangle!?

Park Avenue Lost would've been loved by all those LOST fans who came up with possible future conspiracies had this show lived to see several seasons.

I agree, having '666' in its title no doubt turned off a portion of the target audience, sadly.

one million moms are claiming they are the reason this show failed.

should have simply been "999 Park Avenue" less exploitative towards the devil idea for religious small minded god fearing people. and clever enough and good for fans of the show who know what its really about. i was upset they changed the opening from the numbers being 999 then the shadow showing it upside down 666. it was perfect. and clever. and also showed naming it 999 park ave would have beemn just as good. then people who dont like these kinds of shows prob would have just turned a blinde eye to it if they heard the name they would have just figured it was something like melrose place, and if htey saw commercials for it would have prob sub consciously tuned it out and it would have been sneankily less controversial while still meaning the same thing just upside down. and also kind of a middle finger to all the soccer moms saying this show shouldnt be on tv ESSPECIALLY because of the name with 666 in it. Ok a-holes will 999 calm your fat assses down?
