    Orc tv? Maybe those Japanese obstacle course shows with people getting smashed and pummeled by various obstacles and opponents. Takeshi’s castle and the like.

      Junkyard Wars and BattleBots at the same time. The robots have to be made out of scrap and beat the opponent while completing a specific task.

    Kuo-Toa: Documentaries on the religions of Amazonian tribes.

    Lamia: Readings of ancient Babylonian, Sumerian and Egyptian texts.

    Githyanki: Django unchained on repeat

    Ill pass on elf and gnome but probably bounce between the rest as the mood strikes

    Tiefling TV: an equal split between violent Gothic dramas and talk shows bemoaning stereotypes

    Goblin TV: think COPS, but entirely mob-justice based and as trashy as ever

    Hobbit TV would be mostly food and drink shows, then one or two good dramas at prime time.

      As someone who practically lived like a Hobbit through the pandemic, this was basically my entire TV viewing experience. 10/10 would quarantine at Bag End again.

      Lots of baking competition shows like the Great British Bake Off but for every Hobbit city.

      That and a show about genealogy. I didn’t know how you make a show about family trees but hobbits could. It would be long and boring for everyone but hobbits. Most popular show by far

        Oh, something like this?

        I wonder who would be the hobbit Gordon Ramsay.

            I had this thought too. But then, they can revel in them or predict future matches?

              Maybe it’s a competition show where there’s a from memory head to head genealogy tree against the actuals.

                “He doesn’t know his own cousins! Hahhahahha.”

                advertisements start playing. Samwise Gamgee’s Potatoes jingle

                “Oh, better fetch another flagon so I don’t miss anything.”

    For some reason I expect Orcs to watch a lot of sports and physical game shows. Like the old Blood Bowl videogame- Orcs playing football or rugby just makes sense. I could also see them loving theatrical wrestling and stuff like American Gladiator and Ninja Warrior.

    Dwarves would probably love wrestling, weight lifting, and sumo. The kinds of sports where having good strength and constitution helps and a lack of movement speed doesn’t hurt.

    Half-elves seem like they would be into dating shows and reality TV. Things where people have to guess if others are lying.

    Halflings get cooking shows. Maybe also gardening and home improvement.

    Tieflings watch sitcoms, standup comics, and horror movies. They also watch reality TV with the half-elves.

    Dragonborn don’t watch cable TV. They watch twitch streamers and YouTubers. Big e-sports enthusiasts too.

    Elves get baseball.

      I know it’s kind of a trope, but elements of the Scottish Highland Games would be a good match here. Caber toss and stone lifting come to mind.

    I think both dwarves and halfing would love architecture shows. A fantasy version of grand designs would be epic

    Orc TV as a palette cleanser between runs of Halfling TV that you’re devastated there isn’t more of that show to watch
