How the TV episode count ranking game works

Every card is a TV show, with the network or service that made it famous printed underneath. You rank them by total episodes aired, fewest first, counting only what has actually been broadcast so far. One show starts on the line with its episode count visible. Each new card goes into a gap you choose. Get it right and the total appears. Get it wrong and the show still drops into its proper place, but you lose one of three lives.

Miniseries and prestige dramas sit at the short end, sitcoms and procedurals fill the middle, and daytime television runs off the top of the chart. Seasons matter more than years: a show with short seasons can run a decade and still trail a sitcom that lasted half as long. Daily programs pile up episodes at a pace no weekly show can match, so an hour of daytime TV can outrank anything in prime time.
