Welcome to The TV IV, which seeks to give you current, up-to-date information on your favorite shows, both new and old. This is an open encyclopedia of television shows, which means that anyone can edit the information at will. We urge you to go to your favorite television show and help contribute, as this website can only grow with your contributions. The TV IV aims to include information about every television show and is not limited to American or British television.

Even though the focus of this site is to eventually house full episode guides, don't be afraid to write up more in-depth information about your favorite television show. Articles related to television on a tangent are also encouraged; our primary goal is to make this a one-stop shop for all your television needs.

Notice: Please be aware that, since this is primarily a television website, spoilers are prevalent and you read at your own risk. As a general suggestion, only look at episode pages after you've seen the episode. Although users will do their best to ensure that nothing is spoiled for the viewer, please be aware that looking at character and episode pages before you have a full understanding of the show can lead you to be spoiled.

[edit] Featured Show

Battlestar Galactica (2003-) is a critically acclaimed and popular science fiction show that is currently airing on Sci-Fi. Decades ago, the Cylons, robot worker class of the Twelve Colonies, rebelled and were fought back by the Colonials in a long, bloody conflict. Fifty years later, the Cylons return, wiping out the unsuspecting Colonies in a single deadly surprise attack. Survivors from the Colonies form a rag-tag fugitive fleet of luxury ships, cargo transports, and various other FTL-capable vessels led by President of the Colonies Laura Roslin and defended by the last known surviving Colonial warship, the outdated Battlestar Galactica. Under the joint command of President Roslin and Commander William Adama of the Galactica, the fleet embarks on a long, dangerous journey to find the apocryphal lost thirteenth colony: Earth.

• Lost: The show is already facing heat for drawing out its plots into The X-Files territory. This season will be its make-or-break season, and will either cement the show as one of television's newest hits or one of television's biggest fumbles. Find out which category Lost classifies itself into by watching it on Wednesdays at 9PM (ET/PT) on ABC.
• Prison Break: The show's central premise is that it isn't meant to last for nine seasons, drag on for eternity, and lose all meaning of what the show is supposed to be. Can it succeed?
• Survivor: The eleventh season, Survivor: Guatemala, has started, and every other season of the show is being played on OLN. What more could a Survivor fan want?
• NCIS: When we last left the NCIS crew, Kate's grey matter was splattered all over Tony's face, and steam was coming out of Gibbs' ears. Will they track down Ari and make him pay? Tune in Tuesdays at 8PM (ET/PT) on CBS to find out.
