Hi, I’d like to create my own cartoon program (each program #xx would be a generated playlist), as a series of 1 episode of different shows in a row, for my kids to take the time to appreciate the pace of weekly episodes instead of binge watching the whole series of a specific TV show. Concept : - have control on the TV series program Note : to make things easy, if one wants to put 2 episodes of the same TV show, one would list the TV show x2 times (like x2 rows). With this repetition, the feature would understand that it needs to increment to the next episode. - auto generate the playlist by sequential order as “[playlist\_name] [increment or coming date]” - offer the possibility to chose which TV show will replace a TV show after the last episode of 1 season so the pattern keeps on rolling. Could any body help me bring this concept to life ? Thx a lot 🙂 ---

You might want to take a look at these existing suggestions: > [@PseudoTV](https://forums.plex.tv/t/pseudotv/99226): > > Basically the ability to emulate the TV watching experience. eg, Watch TV channels created with your own media (and potentially with online media).   Running a home media server is pretty awesome: beautiful cover art, playlists, and all your media right at your finger tips. One thing media centers fall short on, however, is recreating that feeling of aimlessly channel surfing just to scratch that TV watching itch.   Why Do I Want To Do This?   More and more people are “cutting the cord” a… > [@TV Show playlist by show instead of Episode](https://forums.plex.tv/t/tv-show-playlist-by-show-instead-of-episode/725697): > > Would love to see a TV Show Playlist feature that will allow you could add tv shows from your TV Shows database that would also allow for random episodes from each show to be shown in order of the TV Shows. IE the TV show playlist would like below: TV Show A TV Show B TV Show B TV Show C TV Show D Where when shuffle is selected the TV shows play in order from A - D but choose a random episode number within that show. > [@Playlist Enhancement for TV shows - Called TV Station or TV Channel](https://forums.plex.tv/t/playlist-enhancement-for-tv-shows-called-tv-station-or-tv-channel/189407): > > Right now, you can add TV series to a playlist, then go to the playlist and select the shuffle. We’re close, but there should additional options. I have setup a Saturday morning playlist with TV series spanning my childhood, including, Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo, Flinstones, Jetsons, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Tennesee Tuxedo and more. The way playlist currently functions, I may get three Flintstones in a row before my first Looney Tunes, then I may see the same Jetsons episode I saw last Saturday.

If you remember things like “Must See TV,” “The Disney Afternoon,” “TGIF,” “Adult Swim,” “Toonami” this is what I’m talking about. Take a few TV shows, add them to a “Programming Block” and when you play that programming block Plex will play one episode of each show in the block. For example, I have a few Disney shows on my Plex Media Server: DuckTales, Rescue Ra… # Please comment/vote in those (applicable) threads in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.
