Lucas Grindley's blog post

Tribune Co. has sued Fox News, accusing the network of ripping off the name of its youth-targeted tabloid “Red Eye” and using it for a late-night talk show.

Fox’s explanation boils down to “Oops.” TVNewser, where I found this story, reports that Fox failed to do a trademark search before picking the name. Now the FNC Web site lists the show as simply, “Greg Gutfeld's Show."

Obviously, they’ve got some real creative geniuses over at FNC. First they steal a name. Then, they replace it with the television equivalent of naming your dog, “Dog.”

Don't they know this has been done before, by "It's Garry Shandling's Show," which had the theme song, "This Is The Theme to Garry Shandling's Show"?
