Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Pennsylvania

I want to register a domain name but it has the name of a popular tv show in it.

I can explain it by using the name of the old tv show "Lost in Space". If I wanted to register a domain name that was shetoldmetogetlostinspace.xxx but it is supposed to sound like "she told me to get lost, in space". And what if my site was also about people really lost in space? Is there too much of a "likelihood of confusion" here?

The name of the show that I am dealing with has also become a popular saying.

Any attorney will say a review of all facts, records, registrations etc. is required. After that, a personal consultation is needed. This is not a simple bulletin board type question. Consult with an attorney in your area for specifics.
