Why did you vote for the genre you did? What makes it superior to you over the other genres? What TV shows exemplify the genre you love, and what do they mean to you? What are the best TV show examples of all the genres?

I voted for Sci Fi because there is no limit to the imagination when it comes to this genre. You can do things that would seem completely false in real life but are very normal on the show. The Star Trek series is the best example of this as they say technological advance is what made certain things possible, but at the same time these are impossible for real.

I would say Sci Fi is better than Comedy (my 2nd fav) because I can get captivated and have to use my brain more when I watch. Sci Fi is better than action or drama (although Sci Fi has elements of each genre in it) because Sci Fi is usually about the wonders of space or underwater or on land. Captivating. Soap & Reality shows are basically the downfall of television and in no way will I dare compare those to anything else.
Talk shows are okay.

So, go ahead, mix/match & compare the genres using your best TV shows as examples.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
