Every night I found 30 good shows cutting off some, except on Saturday which was well under. I did not include foreign shows despite great ones like Corner Gas and Fawlty Towers, already took digging to find several of the original airdates for US shows. Streamers are not included unless they started on linear TV, so no Only Murders in the Building or The Chosen. First-run syndicated shows are not included unless they started on network, which leaves out some great shows like Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I thought about putting them on Saturdays, but in some markets they would air on Sundays. In the case of It's a Living, I did not include it as the syndicated era with Crystal Bernard is a lot better than the network version. And shows that are stripped five days a week like the great Dick Clark Pyramids, David Ruprecht's Supermarket Sweep, Jeopardy, and The Tonight Show are also excluded. I thought about excluding Who Wants to be a Millionaire as ABC went overboard with five nights a week, still included since it was primetime.
