Television Industries

[Mirah]

I would like to make a list of all of the industries represented on television.
And then I would like to make a list of those not represented at all.

I will make a separate list for industries represented in movies, you may mention them here if you must but I would prefer a list of TV industries mostly.

I will list the industry and then the name of the show next. And there could be several shows in one industry, and I suppose there could be more than one industry in a show as well. If someone wants to add shows to one of the industries that I listed please do!

I wasn't sure how to list the restaurant-like as a diner or waitressing or cooking? Because it is multi-faceted.

Wings! That was the show I was thking of. Was it set in a bar or cafe?

Military - China Beach

and OMG there are too many cop shows to name. If you check out the ota digital channels that's just about all they have, plus true crime shows.

Also, there are tons of firemen shows, and tons of hospital shows.

 

[Mirah]

Oh yes, the hospital shows. Good grief.

And probably plenty of politician shows beginning with Benson!

So what industries are not represented?

One industry I have not seen in a show is dog washing, pet grooming.

Thanks.

I guess I'm looking for sitcom and drama type shows and the industries they feature. There are a ton of reality and game shows and other related that would take forever to categorize.
