Help Felix, Karen, and Max get the respect they deserve! As the show has evolved, so have the cast characters and special guests. While Ben may have started the whole thing, he's no longer alone, the show is about so much more now! Shh.. Don't tell the crew, the show is really about you and what you want to see. Below are some names the team came up with and now it's your turn. Vote on your favorite or come up with your own. While there are no guarantees how the final name will be chosen, you'll be a part of the process, and that will help us decide on a name everyone can live with!

In the comments below tell us what you think the show should be called and why!

Ben, do not change the name! It's commendable you want to recognize the other members but you do so at the risk of using an unknown, unrecognized name. Your show is iconic. Leave it alone or do something that won't be so drastic like:

Let's Get Started
- The Ben Heck Show.

"Let's Get Started" would be the primary title with "- The Ben Heck Show" a byline.

Recognize other members of the show like a movie would. Since I just binge watched Space: 1999 it comes to mind. Watch how they intro'd the cast and how it changed between season 1 and season 2. All movies do this. With your propensity to quote lines from movies this would fit right in. This would provide you a lot of creativity at the start of the show and provide a means to recognize the current cast or the next person(s) that comes along if the 'cast' changes. No name change at all would be needed to do this.

Don't change the name. Just add a "featuring" card.

Here's my top three...

The Heck's Men .... Cons: A bit rude to Karen. Pros: Seeing Stan Lee's signature on the cease and desist letter would be epic.
Game Over, Man! ... Cons: Kinda makes me sad thinking about Bill Paxton... Pros:....Sorry, I need a minute....
Fun with Sloths ... Cons: None. Pros: Sloths

Bonus round:

Ben Heck Five... Cons: You would need another member. Pros: I'm almost finish updating my resume.
