They use sitcom character names from 1970s ABC shows: Fronzie, Richie, Marion, Laverne, Shirley...


Actually, it's the Greek Alphabet, if you can believe that: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta...

Using the greek letters is a bad idea. It just encourages more stoms to happen. I think that once Wilma happens, they should just shut down the season for the year. It's been a good run, but enough's enough.

You're all wrong. They use cartoon characters from the '70s: Scooby-Doo, Captain Caveman, Hong Kong Phooey...
