Twisted TV Titles, season 2

Question

Inspired by this puzzle by Pugmonkey, here is a second set of Twisted TV Titles.

Each of the new shows pictured or described below is a copy of an existing program with the name changed by a single letter. The original shows were popular on American television and may have aired anytime from 1950 to today. Identify the twisted show title and the original.

Hint for #11:

Aired primarily during the 1960s

Thanks for the link to my original puzzle. It's great that this is continuing! — Pugmonkey, Mar 09 '18 at 11:15
@Pugmonkey - I forsee many good things in the future for your puzzle type! It's lots of fun! — BruceWayne, Mar 09 '18 at 17:21
Thanks, but I don't claim any originality. I didn't consciously copy another puzzle, but I grew up reading GAMES magazine, and this seems like something that might have shown up there. I'm sure its been done before. — Pugmonkey, Mar 09 '18 at 17:35
I've seen similar quizzes on for example Sporcle but this one was much better. Most of the answers were really hard to get but obvious when revealed. — Jaap Scherphuis, Mar 09 '18 at 19:01
Has a correct answer been given? If so, please don't forget to $\color{green}{\checkmark \small\text{Accept}}$ it :) — Rubio, Mar 19 '18 at 20:49
@Rubio I was still waiting to see if someone would come up with my intended answer for #11. Not sure if SeanC's answer quite fits the clue, although it comes very, very close. Should I accept the community wiki compilation answer as "close enough"? — DLosc, Mar 19 '18 at 21:04
@DLosc How about a hint for #11? Also did you see theonetruepath's new guess at #11? — JS1, Mar 28 '18 at 23:34
@JS1 Hint added, and commented as to why theonetruepath's answer doesn't fit the clue. — DLosc, Mar 29 '18 at 02:10

I thought I should answer this one, considering it's my avatar. :P

Is the avatar you (and OP) used from a show or something? Or did OP happen to find your avatar, and use it? (also, nice answer!) – BruceWayne Mar 09 '18 at 16:12

@BruceWayne This is an image that I made myself, and use as an avatar most everywhere. DLosc asked if they could use it and I let them. – totallyhuman Mar 09 '18 at 16:16

2) big guess:

3)

"The Punsters", twisted from "The Munsters"

9)

"The Magic School Bug", twisted from "The Magic School Bus"

Another guess at this one: 11:

I think 6 is should be ".... Nome Videos". "Hope" would work better for Arkansas rather than Alaska. – Pugmonkey Mar 09 '18 at 10:44

7 is actually fairly accurate as just the original show's title... – Joe Mar 09 '18 at 11:40
#11 isn't the intended answer and doesn't fit the clue too well, since rot13(ubbq) is pretty much the opposite of "suburban"... – DLosc Mar 29 '18 at 01:36

Nice! We're done now someone group them up like the previous thread I dont have time :D – L_Church Mar 09 '18 at 16:59
Huh! This was not my intended answer, but it fits surprisingly well. One possible nitpick: does Charmed take place in the suburbs? Wikipedia says it's set in San Francisco. – DLosc Mar 09 '18 at 21:33

probably preferable since we don't want to call girls bags...? lol – L_Church Mar 09 '18 at 15:09
@L_Church PL457's answer is based on "spill the beans" instead of girlfriend (which mine is). – jaxad0127 Mar 09 '18 at 15:46

(SPOILER) bae maybe? (covering up most of the name) – Peregrine Lennert Mar 09 '18 at 17:21
And that explains why I had so much trouble with this one - I'm way too old to call anyone "Bae" ... But great answer! – Pugmonkey Mar 09 '18 at 17:36

Is #11

Dewitched (not a word, AFAIK, though I learned many interesting facts about dew itch while googling it) -> Bewitched

?

Because Bewitched has a suburban setting and aired primarily in the 1960s (1964 - 1972).

Are you sure you understood the question? Only one letter should be changed in the title of an existing tv show. – Jaap Scherphuis Mar 09 '18 at 09:41
