This item at Bored Panda shows some of the original names suggested for famous TV shows. A couple of them are not very different from the eventual show title and in at least one case -- The Seinfeld Chronicles becoming Seinfeld -- the earlier title was used for a pilot. Some were just working titles, such as Married With Children's developmental title Not the Cosby Show. Showrunners used that title to help sell their concept of a show that was going to be anything but the easygoing kid-friendly style of the NBC hit. But when it got picked up a new name had to be chosen.
Some renamings were clearly necessary. House of Comics had to be renamed to Full House because otherwise Bob Saget would have had to have lived in a different building from the other cast members.
