Ultimate Television Schedule

While there are a few shows that have new episodes in the summer they seem to be packing them all in on Wednesdays and Sundays. It’s kind of a bizarre schedule. It got me thinking what the ultimate television schedule would look like for me. So I went through all the shows I’ve watched before and created one. Of course, I had to make some rules to follow. Each show had to have been on the specific scheduled night for a portion of their run. I allowed one hour of PVR taping so I wouldn’t miss out on some of my favourites. I also included their best season in my opinion. Netflix shows didn’t count because they can be watched on any night. Here we go:

Sunday

7pm     Brooklyn Nine-Nine (S2) / Arrested Development (S3)

8pm     Alias (S1)

9pm     Breaking Bad (S5)

10pm   Game of Thrones (S4)

PVR    Amazing Race (S7)

Sunday is always one of the busiest nights with so many cable offerings from HBO and such. This was probably one of the hardest nights to narrow down. Luckily, Sunday programming includes the 7pm time slot, so I can include some awesome comedies.

Monday

8pm     Big Bang Theory (S3) / How I Met Your Mother (S2)

9pm     Chuck (S2)

10pm   Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (S1)

PVR    House (S4)

Monday is one of the more eclectic nights with comedy, action and drama. A great way to start the week.

Tuesday

8pm     Scrubs (S1) / Sports Night (S1)

9pm     Buffy the Vampire Slayer (S3)

10pm   Angel (S5)

PVR    Frasier (S5) / Just Shoot Me (S3)

Due to my Joss Whedon crush, the two hour Buffy/Angel block was a given. The comedies balance it all out nicely.

Wednesday

8pm     Veronica Mars (S1)

9pm     Lost (S3)

10pm   The West Wing (S2)

PVR    Friday Night Lights (S1)

Talk about an intense night of drama.

Thursday

8pm     Friends (S5) / Community (S3)

9pm     Cheers (S10) / Seinfeld (S7)

10pm   The Office (S2) / Parks & Recreation (S2)

PVR    Cosby Show (S2) / 30 Rock (S2)

So many comedies to choose from, so little time. And if you’re wondering about The Cosby Show, I feel the recent allegations don’t detract from his amazing sitcom.

Friday

8pm     Firefly (S1)

9pm     X-Files (S6)

10pm   Battlestar Galactica (S3)

PVR    Wonderfalls (S1)

It’s genre night. Would have loved to have seen more Wonderfalls and Firefly.

Saturday

8pm     Diff’rent Strokes (S6) / nothing

9pm     Doctor Who (S4)

10pm   Orphan Black (S1)

PVR    Don’t need to

Not as much to watch on a Saturday night. I couldn’t find a good comedy for the 8:30pm slot. Golden Girls is good and all but not ultimate worthy.
