A list of television shows (both live-action and animated) based on works from other media.

Inspired by (and first list compiled from) the thread at http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=142809

Don't publish this list as-is to the Main pagespace! (This is a temporary reference document.) Instead, create categories and tag the appropriate pages.

* How many categories (one or many)? ''Many''
* What name/names does/do the category/categories get? ''The current section header names look good''

See also [[Animated Adaptation]] and [[The Anime of the Game]].

* Include TV animation: Y/N?
** Include TV anime: Y/N?

Comment from [[User:vorticity]] on the DW forum: "Just include everything in [[:Category:Anime]], and go back and exclude those from [[Anime First]]."
