We've been watching The Office and this game came up in a recent episode.

You're stranded on a desert island. Miraculously this desert island has a working television. You get 5 books, 5 movies, and 5 television series. What are they?

Tried to get every category covered for movies. War/Sports/Comedy/Mob and then To Kill A Mockingbird. Tough to leave off Friday Night Lights from TV Series. Wanted to get a sports one in there, but couldn’t knock the others off, especially wanting a political show as well.
