T.V. Tag?

The conversation the other was on childhood games and how fun they used to be. Tag for example was great, particularly for the many variations that there were. Tag as i believe was someone being "it" and then everyone running from "it" and when tagged they themselves become "it" and so on and so on... Freeze Tag was a good one as well, Once again there is the "it" who chases and tags, tagged person becomes frozen until another rescues them by touching them, and then on and on, i think if you got tagged 3 times you became "it". In fact i don't know if the first tag is even a game, i might have fuzzy memories here. Flashlight tag was a good one as well, same concept except played at night with flashlights. No tagging is necessary, you need only be shined upon by "its" flashlight. Good times.
Now there's a reason that I'm describing tag, and its not just because I'm bored and procrastinating from cleaning the yard. I remembered a form of tag that no one was aware of, and i don't know if its because we made it up or just because i was talking to people who's childhoods were far from being as cool as mine. Right....
SO, T.V. Tag was a form of tag much like tag and freeze tag except that when "it" was upon you about to tag, you could simply squat on the ground and name a T.V. show and be safe. I keep thinking about it and how simply stupid the idea is. Was it hard for us to actually think up T.V. shows on the spot like that? And being "it"? must have been awful, because you'd always be it. Someone is always going to think up a show. How did we manage to entertain ourselves with this game? Am i imaging it? I must consult my fellow Kerhonkson friends and seek closure.
