Should I put "the" in front of this name?

    I have a name that is similar to "The Cosby Show" although it's not Cosby, it's a different name. Should I get "the" in front, or no, or both?

    Try saying it out loud with and without the "The". Sometimes you can pull it off, sometimes you can't. I am used to "The Cosby Show" because that is how I've always known it, but since your name is new, you may be able to pull it off without it. Try asking some of your friends, too.

    I would say "The Cosby Show" but get both, also the other if you havent already registered them I would suggest you do so asap before some other member here does so and asks you to buy the domains from them. good luck

    Well "the" is not so bad for prefix so i would say it's ok to use it
    Certainly the without "the" version would be more valuable

    It’s case/name sensitive !
    If it were about Cosby Show,then I would prefer without the prefix the !
    Again it’s case sensitive.;)

    I would have to agree. If it makes sense with the word "the" in front of it, then get the name.

    I would feel that "The" has an emphasizing effect on a lot of domains, it would sounds better with the "The" then without it. But I would register both just in case.

    so "show" is part of the domain? Defintely use "The" then.
