If You Owned Your Own TV Station, What Would You Air?
 

For serious - if you didn't have to worry about rights, money or whatever, what would you air? Keep in mind that you have to follow some of the rules, such as no nudity, swearing, etc, during daylight hours, no excessive violence or hatred. The usual stuff.

Documentaries. Loads of documentaries. Especially about food. Mythbusters and Anthony Bourdain's show, can't recall the name, would be on heavy rotation.

I'd air a lot of movies, but I'd dedicate one day per week especially to very awesome movies. Think along the lines of Tom Yum Goong.

The single most important thing, though, is the random bizarre stuff I'd air during the night. If you're familiar with David Firth's cartoons, that's the kind of stuff you'd find here. No explanations, no introductions, just straight up one weird cartoon or show after the other. I want a station that can surprise me, dammit!

I think I would just get all the funny shit I find on the internet and air that. :D

Considering up here in Canada we have no Anime Network, I would start up one of those.

The kicker, i'd procure all the uncensored stuff.

I find David Firth to be a tad tasteless and unconventional.

You have defined the reason I would air it.

So, you like Scrubs or something?

Way to fuck up an otherwise decent schedule.

Anyway, if it were me, I'd want two. One would be entirely for sitcoms, with a lot of variety in the ones it shows, especially late at night (Fuck you, TV Land!). I'd compile a list, but it'd be massive. Lets just say that there's a lot of them. Pleanty of Britcoms too. Might throw in a kid's block with classics such as The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Salute Your Shorts, and the other classic kid sitcoms.

The second channel would be more for the one-hour drama/etc format shows. A lot of more short-run culty ones (like Firefly, Wonderfalls, Adventures of Brisco County Jr., Twin Peaks) would be in rotation, as well as other longer run series (like The X-Files, Northern Exposure, Farscape, Picket Fences, etc.). Perhaps slip some classic Doctor Who and Twilight Zone in there. Again, perhaps a kids block, this time with shows like Are You Afraid Of The Dark?, Eerie Indiana, The Tomorrow People, and the other awesome kid-focused dramas of yore.

And no original programming! Because 99% of the time with 'rerun' networks, original programming blows. Fuck you, TV Land and Nick@Nite. And no 'back to back episodes' or marathons or crap, because that's just annoying if you don't want to watch that show. Pretty much, it'll be rerun variety 24/7.

...What the fuck is Scrubs?
