Probably some children's cartoons that only have animal characters. Anything with humans in it or with grownup themes would be too alien for TV audiences.

We don't legislate that sort of thing, so any, really-though I doubt very much that television would become the dominant force it has in the US. The blatantly leftist agenda would be seen as corrupting, and given the crap that passes as programming, I just can't see anyone watching.

Lots of British and American shows. German detective shows. Of course, if you have cable, or a satellite dish, you can watch international TV directly.

They don't watch alot of TV here. Not much would fare well, for better or worse.

Since my nation is all about money and my citizens having the desire to spend as much as possible the following is imported:

* Infomercials
* Children's Cartoons with lots and lots commercials for toys and junk food
*Reality TV ( ones about famous people and talent shows. This is to promote being glamorous and people wanting to be like the famous people in the shows)

* Gossip Shows

Plus some of my favorite shows: Big Bang Theory, Criminal Minds, House Hunters, and VH1 Rock Docs.

All of our local media is censored through Carson Media and encouraged people to go out and buy stuff.

While I don't actually air RL shows within my nations (Ixania and my puppet, Ganos Lao), I would probably like to air the following programming within either of them.

1. MTV's Daria

2. King of the Hill

3. The Simpsons (Earlier episodes; essentially, we'd air only the 1990s material, old school all the way)
4. House MD (We'd only air the first four seasons)
5. BlackAdder
6. Mr. Bean
7. A Bit of Fry and Laurie
8. Trailer Park Boys
Image
9. The Critic
Image
10. Claymore
Image
11. Le Chevalier D'Eon
Image
12. The Big O

1- The S.T.A.L.K.E.R TV series.

And that's all that we would actually host from the selection of real TV shows.
- Scottish resident of the United Kingdom.
- Appreciator of Dragons and Draconic things.
- Minor FanT. FT.
