''Sex, Love & Secrets'' premiered on UPN last night. For some reason I just can't get that right. I keep calling it ''Sex, Lies & Secrets'' instead. By the end of the series though, ''Lies'' may be more appropriate than ''Love'' anyways.
I'm always amazed at how some movies permeate pop culture. Take ''sex, lies, and videotape" for example. The movie was released in theatres on August 4, 1989. Before the movie was released,
no TV eps were named ''Sex, Lies and ____.'' Less than four months after the movie was released, ''Who's the Boss?'' named an ep after the movie. And now at least 30 series have an ep title based on the movie name.
Here are some of the more creative ways TV writers ended the statement, ''Sex, Lies and _____,'' for ep titles.
