TV shows called ‘Hank’ never do very well

Don't you think the networks would know by now that programs called Hank work no better in 2009 than they did in 1966? ABC is now as Hank-less as NBC was 43 years ago. The first version ran at least one full season. As a former CEO, Kelsey Grammer's Hank character was familiar enough. (Did someone say Hank Greenberg?) Less familiar is the '60s Hank, an oddball college student who attended class in disguises. (Late actor Dick Kallman portrayed him.) Perhaps the world was different then. Or perhaps NBC has compensated with Community, another show about college students. That sitcom now runs in the same slot as their original Hank.
