Can you name the TV shows, with clues given in haiku form?

TV Plot Haiku	Name of TV Show
Alien crash lands / Stays with boring family / Tries to eat their cat
Plane crashed on island / You can't tell Locke what to do / Jack cries all the time
Five jerks run a bar / Get into lots of trouble / Beers at Paddy's Pub?
Every week they sing / It's like High School Musical / Watch out for Slushees
In Jerry's flat or / At Monk's diner, it's really / All about nothing
Four nerds meet a girl / Everyday they eat take-out / And make her feel dumb
It's in a white house / They love walking in hallways / Talking politics
Working in New York / For some SNL-like show / All for NBC
These kids love singing / Dancing, living forever / They're gonna fly high

TV Plot Haiku	Name of TV Show
It's not possible / Over the course of one day / A man saves the world
They find your semen / At the scene of the murder / They send you to jail
Greedy oil baron / Socializes with cowboys / Did you shoot J.R.?
Take minor celebs / Mock them for their bad dancing / Grandma will watch it
Plain ol' high school kid / Killing vampires with her friends / 'Once more with feeling!'
She puts on a wig / And 'gets the best of both worlds' / Disney rakes in cash
Just some family / Hey! Is that Janet Jackson? / 'Whatchoo talkin' bout?'
Lives across from dad / Mom's always coming over / He gets all the love
A two-man folk band / Tries to make it in New York / 'Fly back home, kiwis!'
'Wanna be on top?' / Duke it out with these tall girls / Don't forget to 'smize'
Just like Las Vegas / Except everything's orange / The main guy's a jerk

	Great quiz, looking forward to a sequel. I got all of them except the third, but I don't watch it

	Bad CSI clue pun: "Dang! I blew it!"

	"It's Always Sunny" (how the show is frequently shortened) should work since just "Buffy" works.

	Awesome game. It was kind of easy, but absolutely hilarious. The West Wing and Big Bang Theory haiku's in particular made me chuckle. =) Sequel!

	Poor Frankie Muniz, / stuck between insane siblings. / Misunderstood kid. ;)

	Instant 5 for including Flight of the Conchords. That aside, excellent quiz. Nice balance between old and new.

	Nice quiz and even further proof I watch WAY too much TV. A few of these shows I never even watch(ed) but I knew them

	Magnadoodle:	Dec 11th, 2009 at 10:31 GMT	-4 points
	How many people will have clicked "give up" only to (1) see they missed Flight of the Conchords and (2) realise that Sporcle is currently full of adverts for an album by two New Zealand guys roughly matching that missed haiku...

	Why didn't they put linebreaks in where the "/"s are? Would have looked so much better.

	@estivator. Janet was also on Diff'rent Strokes, so check you OWN facts before criticizing others!!!

	Lyn_Marie:	Dec 11th, 2009 at 13:12 GMT	6 points
	Although Janet Jackson was on Diff'rent Strokes, it was only for a few episodes. She was in 46 episodes of Good Times. I think including her name in the haiku was kind of lame. Probably including a line about Arnold's pet fish (Abraham?) would have been better :)

	Please accept the UK answer for the fourth one on the right (Strictly Come Dancing)...
