The Americanization of Episode Titles

Eighty-five years ago the Pulitzer Prize winning autobiography, The Americanization of Edward Bok, was #3 on the non-fiction best seller list for the year. Despite his numerous professional accomplishments, Edward Bok had his biggest effect on our day-to-day life by simply creating a new word. If you believe his wikipedia page, "Bok is credited with coining the word 'living room' to replace the American 'parlor'."

Here's a short list of ep titles that pay homage to Bok's work:

• The Americanization of Charo (''Chico and the Man,'' 1/6/1978)
• The Americanization of Ivan (''WKRP in Cincinnati,'' 1/28/1980)
• The Americanization of Jeannie (''I Dream of Jeannie,'' 11/6/1965)
• The Americanization of Machiko - August 4, 1953 (''Quantum Leap,'' 10/11/1989)
• The Americanization of Miko (''The Facts of Life,'' 1/20/1982)
