So it's Monday morning, and I'm inspired to start my own meme. Here goes:
You're programming the daily lineup for a cable TV channel. This runs from 8AM to 8PM every weekday (think Eastern time). How would you program the network? Include only shows that have at least 60 episodes -- they need to be viable candidates for syndication, which means they can run for twelve weeks without a repeat.
My own schedule starts with a few shows for the kiddies, then goes into drama for a few hours, and then it goes all funny for the rest of the day.
8:00am - The Tomorrow People (British 70's version)
8:30am - Mr. Wizard's World
9:00am - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
10:00am - CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
11:00am - Sex and the City
11:30am - Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist
noon - The Show With No Name
1:00pm - Mystery Science Theater 3000
3:00pm - The West Wing
4:00pm - The Kids in the Hall
4:30pm - Whose Line Is It Anyway? (British version)
5:00pm - Comedy Central Presents
5:30pm - NewsRadio
6:00pm - The Simpsons
6:30pm - Futurama
7:00pm - South Park
7:30pm - The Daily Show
(Edit: I just realized that "Sports Night" only ran for two seasons, so it fails my own syndication test, so I'm replacing it with "Comedy Central Presents", their long-running stand-up comedy showcase. I'm also integrating tangoglenn's comments about kiddies coming home at 3PM and moving some time slots around.)
Corrupting the kiddies?
Personally, I'd move The West Wing into the afternoon time slot for them. Right after those ditties about how Bills are passed, etc.
