Create your own TV primetime schedule using your TV on DVD collection

Okay, so during the writer's strike, my girlfriend and I would mostly watch TV on dvd stuff and would come up with our own primetime schedules using shows from our DVD collection. It was pretty fun creating different theme nights and then watching the shows. I thought that it would be cool for everyone here to become their own network executive and post their own TV schedules using shows from their collection.

Here's what we came up with:

Monday night (teen drama night)
8:00 p.m: My So-Called Life
9:00 p.m: Veronica Mars
10:00 p.m: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Tuesday night (retro comedy night)
8:00 p.m: Soap / WKRP
9:00 p.m: Seinfeld / Sledge Hammer!
10:00 p.m: Moonlighting

Wednesday night (action adventure night)
8:00 p.m: Angel
9:00 p.m: The Shield
10:00 p.m: 24

Thursday night (drama night)
8:00 p.m: Northern Exposure
9:00 p.m: Picket Fences
10:00 p.m: Twin Peaks

Friday night (Sci-Fi suspense night)
8:00 p.m. Heroes
9:00 p.m. Kolchak the Night Stalker
10:00 p.m: X-Files

Guess I'd be watching The Chappelle Show every night of the week, since those are the only TV shows I own on DVD.
