    Anyone know why so many episodes were titled with a word followed by a question mark, then the same word followed by an explanation mark? Examples:
    Christmas? Christmas!
    Liotta? Liotta!
    Halloween? Halloween!

        That's the best (albeit only lol) theory I've heard. It's just odd that the majority of episodes had normal titles (i.e. they were descriptive phrases or puns, like "Sweet Charity"; "The Goodbye Girl"; "Maya Judging Amy"; "The Write Stuff"), and then there was a handful scattered throughout the seasons with the same format ("Halloween? Halloween!"; "Christmas? Christmas!"; "Liotta? Liotta!"). Perhaps it was the trademark style/format of a particular episode writer.

          ETA: Looking at the IMDb credits, it looks like all the titles with the "xyz? xyz!" format were written by Brett Baer and Dave Finkel. It must have been their little stamp/gimmick.

            Good observation.
            I think it was kind of like they were assigned a story idea…where one of the producers said, "Can you guys come up with a Halloween-themed episode?" And they were like, "Halloween?" "Yeah, Halloween." "Okay, Halloween! We'll do it!"
            And the title was a spoof of that discussion in the story conference meeting.
