See when big companies think they're big and important and above the little people they often overlook small items, like the fact TLC named their show about Hoboken cake maker Buddy Valastro "Cake Boss" even though they were told back as far as 2006 that the name was taken by a Seattle couple who produce software under that name. They told TLC they'd need to come up with something different.
Naturally being a big self important television network making crap shows (remember when The LEARNING Channel was about LEARNING and not about giving every midget and goofball a program) wasn't hearing any of this and decided to keep calling the show from FuHo Cake Boss.
Then now, the wheels of justice may turn slowly but they do turn and on July 16, Judge Richard A. Jones issued a preliminary injunction restricting the channel and the series from using the term, “Cake Boss.”
Oops, see what happens when hubris and the feeling "I'm just bigger than you and my lawyers will crush you" takes over?
So, does anybody have any suggestions for a new show name?

I vote for Cake Saint. I love Buddy!
Might I add these others, off the top of my head:
- Cake Familia
- Buddy & Cake Plus 8
- Cake Idol
- CAKE! (as in GLEE!)
- Project Cakeway
- The Amazing Cake
Okay, stopping now.
Buddy and Cake Plus 8, wow a nice network coup as maybe then Kate could bring her litter of kids to have a birthday cake made by Buddy.
Too late, Kate already peddled her kids on Ace of Cakes.
Where there's money Kate Gosselin will sniff it out like Scooby Doo sniffed Scooby snacks
And be gross and money-grubbing about it.
