Shows by Genre

Some  Page links are temporarily broken. Will fix as soon as time allows.

Have you ever just found yourself in the mood for something specific? A good cop show? A medical drama?  A work place comedy? Well this is where you can find what you're looking for.

Below you will find some different categories. Each show will be listed under all that apply to it. I'll also include a brief description, so you know what you are looking at. And I will be grouping certain related Sub-Genres together.

Genres

Sitcom: A television situation comedy, often shortened to sitcom, is a genre of comedy that features recurring characters in a common environment such as a home or workplace.
