Katie Couric's New Talk Show Title Sparks Backlash on Twitter, Facebook

Many people were underwhelmed with the news that Katie Couric's upcoming talk show will simply be called Katie.

The show's title and key art, featuring the tagline "The Opportunity Begins September 6th," were unveiled Monday for the show, which premieres on ABC in fall 2012.
