You awaken a TV genie who gives you one TV wish. It can effect just one show or channel or genre, or all TV everywhere. What do you use your one wish on? Here's mine: No television show will ever again feature a scene where an adult who has lost track of a child wanders around yelling that child's name.

No TV show will ever again use a plot that hinges on two characters making wild assumptions about each other rather than just clearing everything up with a simple, two-minute conversation.

David Milch gets unlimited money and all the actors come back for as much Deadwood as the cast/crew wants to produce. I'd probably give up a decade of my post-50's life to have this happen.

Nobody on any TV show is allowed to ever drag out a will they / won't they get together plot for one season, or more than is plausible when assuming that both characters have a greater intelligence than God gave pistachio nuts.

A ratings system that isn't older than my parents and a reasonably priced business model that allows me to watch whatever I want, when I want. Just drag everyone into the 21st century, even if it is kicking and screaming the whole way.

More historical shows on HBO about some of the more obscure stuff instead of the things that have been retreaded to much. Like the wars of the Diadochi, Punic wars, great migrations, thirty years war, 1848 revolutions etc.

All serialized shows must follow an established continuity. No "it was a dream" bullshit, either (Newhart excluded). Any writer who strays gets kicked in the nuts.

All shows that attempt any sort of series long plotline must have that plotline written out in advance of the show starting. And networks can't cancel shows before said plotline is resolved. And shows end after said plotline is resolved, instead of limping on into eternity. Cable channels have to revert to showing what their special interest is. No more Ancient Aliens, Ghost Hunters, or bullshit conspiracy theory/reality tv shows. The Mole comes back for at least a few more seasons.

I'm adding to this that it especially applies to situations where one character asks for an explanation and the other says "It's complicated", because it never is. Just loving explain it.

Full six season run of Limitless on either USA or Hulu, no budget cuts. This assumes that Person of Interest doesn't "drop the mic" with an edgy "bad guys win" ending.

Nuclear launch button that destroys the person responsible for whatever terrible commercial you are currently watching. Go ahead and add some ironic consequence like it costs $10,000 a press, still worth it

- That CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News cease to be TV channels. - No more corporate sponsorship on PBS. Heck, have multiple publicly funded channels. - That TV producers slow down and give everyone a chance to catch up on their television backlog. - Don't have a talk show's social media strategy start dictating the content of the show. - Everyone shuts up about Firefly once and for all. - Shows be good from the start so goons stop asking how many episodes or seasons they should skip. - Shows stop trolling the "fan theory" crowd because they're so obnoxious. - That vehicles for comedians aren't automatically treated as "prestige" content. They haven't earned it yet! - You know what? Get rid of SNL. Let's see what happens.

I just want all shows to start 2 minutes after the DVR scheduled start, and end 2 minutes before the DVR scheduled end. (Not counting live events). The 2 minutes can be used for titles/credits/recaps/previews, but no new content. I chose 2 minutes to avoid clock issues, rounding errors and satellite + cable routing delays.
