What TV show would you want to live in?


My initial thought was Buffy, but I think all the vampires and demons might be a little too dangerous and I'd get eaten up. Then again, the Slayer (almost) always succeeds.

I can't picture any black and white TV show I'd like to live in, except for the Twilight Zone or Outer Limits and that could get really weird really fast. Could be nice to be Lucy or Ethel's neighbor, purely for the gossip.

Eight Is Enough? Nah, I'd pee myself waiting for a free bathroom.

NONE of the CIS shows, no way, no how! Too much dying violently going on.

Doctor Who could be a real blast! Sucks when the universe is always about to be destroyed, though. And the Daleks are reallllllly annoying.

Still thinking, curious what others might choose

If I must live in a black-and-white TV show, then I want "The Beverly Hillbillies"! If I was part of that universe I could live in a Beverly Hills 1960s mansion with a "cement pond", but I wouldn't be a hillbilly then any more than I'm a hillbilly now! I'd be living the life!

If I can't be a crew member on the USS Enterprise.

The Addams Family. I want to blow up some trains.

Possibly The Librarians, coz I wanna live in a world with magic, dragons, time travel and an endless supply of books, and John Laroquette seems like an awesome dude. Or else maybe Smallville or Sliders.

There's Company by a long shot. I mean it's living by the beach with hot chicks everywhere. Just working hard a playing harder. The only downside is putting up with two shitty landlords and a pathological lying best friend.
