What is "lame" about it?.
Its no more lame than countless other shows from the US such as "Rizolli and Isles" "Castle" etc.....

Why do you think it's lame? It's about Houdini and Doyle so....
And even though you fool your souls
Your conscience will be mine,all mine
Your question should be, "Why DO..."

The title succinctly tells us, in two words plus an ampersand, what the show is about. It flows trippingly off the tongue (far better than Doyle & Houdini.)And it's fantasy, so why all the fuss about historical and factual accuracy?

I'm not getting how "Houdini and Doyle" is a lame title. It's simple, just the names of the main characters & it's on the viewer to know who they are.
There are MUCH lamer show-titles outta the UK, like "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em"
Sometimes fires don't go out when you're done playin' with them.
Hmmmm!
Starsky and Hutch
Sure there are more...
Hmm... I never had a problem with the name 'Are You Being Served?'. But when it got a continuation-sequel series, they just called it 'Are you Being Served Again?' which seems lame.

I know, right, like how about those other lamely titled British dramas, like Cagney & Lacey and Hardcastle & McCormick?
What about those lamely titled British dramas where both names are the same, like Hart to Hart and Simon & Simon?
And the lamely titled British dramas where one name is a codename and the other name is a surname, like Scarecrow and Mrs. King?
And the lamely titled British dramas where both names are first names, like Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy, Joanie Loves Chachi, and Kate & Allie?
Remember T & T with Mr. T?
Those wacky Brits!

I think the guy mentioning all the American TV shows, like Cagney & Lacey, was simply MOCKIKNG the original poster. The original poster seemed to imply that British TV shows have "lame" names like "Houdini & Doyle." So, this guy listed a whole bunch of American shows with similar titles in order to show that the original poster's argument is, in point of fact, "lame."
I don't think this guy said anything hostile at all. He was sarcastic & mocking, sure, but not hostile. And it didn't seem like anything he said was directed at YOU, but rather, was meant for the OP. So really, YOU are the one overreacting, not this guy.

Wow. Overly sensitive much? Its obvious the poster was sarcastic, and maybe responded to the wrong post. Get over yourself.
