Make Up Your Own TV Channel

Post Reply New Topic

Saw this on another forum so I thought we could to it here too. Basically you just invent a TV Channel and post what shows you would broadcast on it!

Name of My Channel: UTV (Children's / Teen's TV Channel)

TV Shows -

Kids (Would be shown between 5am and 9pm): SpongeBob SquarePants (Can be shown any time of the day), The Fairly OddParents (Can be shown any time of the day), Recess, Drake & Josh, Rugrats, Codename: Kids Next Door, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, All Grown Up!, Jimmy Neutron, iCarly, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Danny Phantom

Teens (Would be shown between 9pm and 5am): The Simpsons, South Park, Futurama, American Dad, Friends, Family Guy, Scrubs, King Of The Hill, Lost

The Meerkat Channel- with movies like Lion King now and then, meerkat documentaries and cute little meerkat cartoons...The perfect channel

Easy. I already mocked it up and sent it to fellow-fish freak - as a practical joke. I can't find the file. It would probably look lame now - this was about 10 years ago.

The Sea Creature Channel

Shows about:

Sharks
Squid
Octopi
Barracudas
Crab and other crustaceans
Leopard Seals
Jellyfish
Cichlids and pirhanas
Tuna
Swordfish & Marlin
Carp & koi
Bass
Trout & salmon
Killer whales
Sea snails

(Oh, I'm sure I'm leaving someone out!)

Personally, not as obsessed with them, but also (for commercial appeal):

Whales
Coral
Dolphins
Sea turtles (Cute but kind of boring)
Fish not mentioned in the first list
Seals and sea lions (except leopard seals)
Mollusks
Seas slugs/cucumbers

The Spader and Shatner Channel.
Shows: Boston Legal, The Practice, Star Trek and TJ Hooker.
And films which James Spader and William Shatner have appeared in.

MST-TV

Stick the Mystery Science Theater guys in front of a big TV screen and subject them to 24 hours of ridiculous television. If Mike Nelson ever heckled a "Gilligan's Island" marathon, I would just call in sick and never change the channel.

ScreamTV - A channel featuring shows and movies dedicated to mostly vampire or zombie-themed series or movies.

TV shows/Cartoons
Air time: During the day

The Addams Family
The Munsters
Young Dracula
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Drak Pack
Gravedale High
Mina & The Count
Invader Zim

Anime
Air time: At night
Referred to as the "Terror From The East" block, it would broadcast different anime on different days.

Hellsing
Trinity Blood
Black Blood Brothers
Blood+
Moon Phase
Shikabane Hime
Tokyo Majin

Movies
Movies would be shown every once in awhile to mix things up a bit.

Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead
28 Days Later
Dracula (1931)
Dracula 2000
Van Helsing
Nightmare Before Christmas
Shaun of the Dead
Dracula: Dead and Loving It
My Boyfriend's Back

music tv with GOOD music on it

WHoa! You're blowing my mind.

You mean - like no shows about vapid teenagers and stupid practical jokes or top 100 countdowns that show jackass comedians making lame predictable jokes? And the music is all good and more or less stick to one or two genres - instead of only music aimed squarely at at 15 year olds?

Oh - but Beavis and Butthead can be the exception.

+ Coelacanths!! !!

+and nuclear, chemical, quantum physics, modern marvels!! ! (and dirty jobs)

Basicily a cross between history and discovery (the only channels i actuly watch well and a little G4 in there aswell)

The 70's and 80's nostalgia channel - with the number one rule: strictly NO commercial breaks within the programmes!!

Daytime:
childrens programmes

Puppets like: Sesame Street, Muppets show, Fraggle rock
cartoons like: Inspector Gadget, Yogis treasurehunt, Gummibears
Childrens series:The Kids of Degrassi street, Little house on the prairie, Supergran, Chocky
For older kids: The tripods, McGyver, Knight Rider, Beaty and the beast

Early Evening: TV series

Hart to Hart, V, Mission Impossible (the 80's version but I wouldnt mind the 60's one as well)

Later evening: films from the 70's and 80's of various kind

Night to early morning:
all kind of documentaries

From past events, covering a story from the past with stories like about Munchen 1972 (the Olympics shootings)
and the Chornobyl disaster and so on....

Thats all of the Nostalgia I came up with at this spontanious moment but of course there is way more I would love to see if I get the chance!

The "No Stars" Channel. It will be either:

1. A Science-fiction channel that will not show any movie or series that has the word "Star" in it's title,

- OR -

2. A Science-Fiction channel that features actors that are not (yet) "Stars" in any way, shape, or form.

TV-L will feature shows about computers (like Giga but without the stupid gaming) at daytime as well as shows about economy, documentations about conlanging and material in conlangs, good sci-fi movies in the evening and when all children are in bed... cartoon with Tuxen for the lonely programmers

Looked up coelacanths. They are definitely cool enough. As are any other weird dinosaur fish that may be discovered down the line. I've also added catfish (from around the world - not just crazy American catfish.) and Sturgeon. Also added sea otters.

I'm thinking of adding seabirds - but I don't want to dilute the intent. Penguins, puffins, albatrosses, pelicans, ospreys.

So - still working on the title. The original was The Fish Channel but then I added invertebrates and mammals then it just got bigger and bigger. And since not all these fish are sea creatures...maybe "Animals that Live In Or On the Water Channel".

Gee, um, yeah - I'll have to get back to you on the other stuff. Not enough hours on the schedule. And physics BLOWS my mind! I love the pictures but the concepts are way over my head!

Although - I also watch History and Discovery channels - and all their spin offs. I LOVE the Science Channel and History International. I also love Modern Marvels and How It's Made. How It's made is good fun for an aspie with auditory processing disorder.

Dealiest Catch, Ice Road Truckers and Axmen are the closest thing to reality tv that I watch. OMG! Have you ever seen the behind-the-scenes Deadliest Catch??? We rented the video game but I'm too much of a spaz on my sons X-box. It looked cool, though.

(ANd I love to torture my family by singing Bon Jovi's Dead or Alive - but by saying "Deadliest catch..." in my best lounge singer schmaltz.

I'd tottaly watch that! Animal Planet sucks these says anyway. It's not so much animal planet anymore as "People Who Work with Animals Planet" and "Dog Planet". Don't forget manatees and stingrays. I think the marine life obsession I had in elementary school is coming back. I would tottaly watch the Sea Creature channel. There would be no need for other channels.

The Equine channel: Shows with programs about horse and pony breeds, a show about My Little Pony customisers, old My Little Pony cartoons and movies like Black Beauty and Hildago. Unlike that crap show "Jockeys" the programs would focus on horses, not their riders.

The Bug Network: Shows about insects

The Cat Channel- Shows about wild cats

The Kitty cat Channel- Shows about domestic cats

The dog channel- What animal planet has become but better

I can't believe I left out rays and manatees! Also - what about sea snakes.


I agree with you on the decline of Animal Planet. I've stopped leaving it on for my dog because of all the animal cop and vet shows. (I wonder if they know they're probably losing pet viewership, too.)

I like "Its Me or the Dog" but Victoria Stillwell is the only "people who work with animals" I like to watch. Well - "Pet Star", too - but Mario Lopez also hosts beauty pagents so I wouldn't say he counts.

That Jockey show is so lame! I know there are probably a lot of horse and racing lovers watching - but there's probably even more animal lovers who are totally offended by racing.
