What kind of real TV shows do the characters watch?

CaptainPastHisPrime · **Posted:** Wed Apr 29, 2009 2:54 pm

Here is the thread for discussing what real-life TV shows that the Homestar characters are interested in? It's actually based on the thread of what movies Homestar characters would watch. I'll start:

:sb:

action, soap operas
:sm:

sports

British imports on public broadcasting
:coachz:

Black sitcoms...?

- He has been seen watching cheesy sitcoms and soap operas. And MTV.

:marzi:

- Environment films teaching about recycling and saving the planet. And bees.

:coachz:

Everyone (except Strong Bad) loves watching Any Griffith's head taped to a TV. So they must have some interest in those classic TV shows.

The only ones who saw that were Strongs Mad and Sad, The Cheat and Homestar.

Nothing, he's too busy shoveling crap

A watermelon stapled to a dishwasher

Nick A · **Posted:** Mon Jul 27, 2009 8:43 pm

Strong Bad definately seems like he shows an interest in really old stuff, so he probably just flicks through the hundreds to look for sci-fi shows made of cardboard. I'm pretty sure Bubs would watch one of those things where the police appeal for witnesses, just to make sure he's in the clear. Homestar will only be allowed to watch TV when Marzipan's in the room, so he watches gardening, nature and music channels. Coach Z probably doesn't even have a TV and Homsar watches every channel at once.

DorianGray · **Posted:** Tue Jul 28, 2009 3:56 am

The Poopsmith is clearly a highly cultured dude. When not shoveling crap for a living, he indulges in the finer things in life. I can easily see him watching PBS, Masterpiece Theatre, and the like.

TBC really ought to do a "Day in the Life of The Poopsmith" toon.

I actually imagined the Poopsmith watching old sci-fi shows, like Land of the Lost, Star Trek, things like that. Otherwise he wouldn't dress up in sci-fi costumes every Halloween.

Or maybe those emergency broadcast tones, and Homsar could do his scream in time with the tone.

CaptainPastHisPrime · **Posted:** Mon Dec 28, 2009 5:10 pm

According to the DVD commentary for the "SECRET IDENTITY" email, Homestar says he also loves "The Jetsons" (or as he calls it, "The Jettisons").

Not true. He has watched "Caleb Rentpayer" on at least two separate occasions. Of course, that's not a real TV show.

Millions · **Posted:** Fri Dec 03, 2010 12:50 am

I can definitely see :coachz:

watching Living Single

:sad:

probably enjoys the History channel and C-Span.

Also, not a TV show, but I bet :poop:

would be way into old silent movies.

Dangcrapple! That link just led me to a page that said, 'This something does not exist' (I can't remember exactly). Oooohhh, wait, maybe I should make another one! That would be awesome!
