They’ll be just fine, and we’ll have them on tv (or streaming) for many years to come. I’m actually kind of excited about the change, considering. ---

Funny name but I really don’t think it’s a good idea to play off of the name of another successful show in the long run. I’d rather see something original to truly begin a new saga. ---

HOCards is a netflix original series, HOCars would be too, so there probably wouldn’t be issues legally, other than it just not being very creative if thats what you meant lol, in which case i agree.

Yeah I wasn’t questioning the legality at all. Just doesn’t seem like the right place to use a pun. Could be a funny sketch within the show, though. ---

I think with all the politics and BS involved with how the show ended up at Netflix (if it happens) House of Cars is the perfect name for it. ---
