We don't have TV. Our staff is too dumb to use the cameras or any equipment.

Television is compulsory in our nation. Since corporations basically rule our nation, they can pass laws making it so. The largest communications company has fourteen channels. Our most popular program is a reality show revolving around the life of a prisoner in our nation. It deters criminals quite effectively, and when one prisoner expires, the show shifts its attention to another. Occasionally, they follow what happens to a prisoner's corpse after the fact. Sometimes their organs are used for scientific purposes or auctioned off for needy people. Their bones are often ground up for insulation, which is a big crowd pleaser. Critics love it and citizens flock in front of massive screens in squares in order to watch it.

We're guessing our most popular show will be "Survival." The "Reality TV" RP is about that show.

Our most popular show was "Rupert Bear," but CPAJ (Concerned Parents Against Junk) got it taken off the air.

The most popular show in Buechoria? Not really anything. People usually despise watching TV (You'll find that 3 out of 4 homes in Buechoria do not have a TV, even for middle- and high-class people.)

According to a recent poll by P-STAT, Pryddain's largest market research company, my subjects enjoy a program called "It's A Right Royal Laugh", which I believe is a satire on the affairs of my family and I. The last episode showed my eldest son, Prince Caldhun, going on a date with a potted plant. I did warn him not to mention his unusual gardening methods to the media, but he's quite strongheaded. I suppose that's a good thing in a Crown Prince.

Callisdrunian Experience, much like the show in the US called "American Experience" on public television, which is a popular station.

Callisdrunian music TV, which is different from RL MTV in that it is almost all video footage and sometimes live broadcasts from concerts, in both classical and popular music, is also popular. The most popular channels besides these are movie channels.

The favorite T.V. show in my nation is "The New Adventures of Punch and Judy." every week Punch manages to break yet another of the infinite laws that we have set forth, and Judy does her govermental duty of punishing him by putting him in a dense part of the forest for the ninja monkees to find.
It helps to remind the Good Citizens of the Kingdom of Chazriel what will happen if they break any of their kind rulers laws. After all, the laws are there for everyone's benefit.
