TV
From Nookipedia, the Animal Crossing wiki
.jpg)
TVs, or televisions, are a type of furniture obtainable in the Animal Crossing series. Like in real life, TVs broadcast an assortment of programs when turned on, such as game shows, cartoons, or plays. In the first-generation games, each TV plays a specific show that never changes. From Animal Crossing: Wild World onward, the program can change depending on the time of day.

Programs played on TVs change each hour. In Animal Crossing, each TV displays a specific program unique to that TV. Some programs feature special versions of K.K. Slider songs (usually the track with the main melody is removed), or songs from previous titles. The following programs can be found on TV throughout the day:
Programs[edit]
- News: On at 6 AM, 7 AM, 11 AM, 6 PM, 10 PM and 11 PM. Shows various pictures of hosts and reporters while "K.K. D&B" plays in the background. In New Horizons, "K.K. Technopop" plays instead.
- Variety Show: Shows a man and a woman alternately speaking, with an occasional bit of laughter, while "K.K. Ragtime" plays in the background. In New Horizons, a larger group of people is seen.
- Weather: Comes on after the news (normally after 45 minutes after the hour the news begins). Shows what the weather will be like on the day that follows. "Café K.K.", "K.K. Swing", and "K.K. Love Song" can be heard in the background.
- Drama: Shows a man and a woman talking on a balcony while the Roost theme from City Folk plays in the background. In New Horizons, they meet up, have an argument, walk near the shore, and hold hands. "Soulful K.K." plays in the background.
- Sports: Shows a soccer game, including goalie close-ups and a full picture of the field. In New Horizons, a tennis game is showed instead. The program usually lasts 1-2 hours.

Implied programs[edit]
Other characters may refer to additional programs that may not be viewable by the player:
- During the daily island-wide broadcast in New Horizons, on days without news, Isabelle may bring up something she watched on TV the night before, including documentaries and a variety show. It's not clear whether all of the programs mentioned (particularly documentaries on specific topics) can be watched by the player.
- Maglevs in Love – A show about anthropomorphic maglev trains in love mentioned by peppy villagers in New Horizons as something they watched before thinking up a DIY recipe. The villager will invariably say that one character, Maglev Mike, took their relationship "off the rails".
- Pointed Love – A romantic soap opera about porcupines mentioned by Sable on Thursdays after befriending her in Wild World, City Folk, and New Leaf. She will mention to the player that the two main characters constantly break up and get together again. Additionally, in Wild World, Sable will say, "I wonder... did Reginald survive the de-quilling procedure? And who is Esther's mystery porcupine? Oh, I can't wait to watch it tonight!" In City Folk, she says she is watching season 4, and in New Leaf, she mentions that the show is now titled Pointed Love: <current year> (i.e. Pointed Love: 2024).
- Pointed Questions - In New Horizons, Sable will mention a true-crime show on Thursdays instead. According to her, the district attorney on the show is always badgering the witnesses.
- Slappy Clobbertown - In New Horizons, a peppy villager may mention in conversation with a cranky villager about a popular TV series with 71 volumes. The peppy villager claims that the show is so popular that fans cosplay as, get tattoos of, and name their children after the characters in the show.
- Vichyssoise Station - A kid's cooking show with no adult supervision. In New Horizons, if the player talks to a lazy villager on a Wednesday, the villager may say that Wednesdays make them miss watching this show as a kid. They will also claim that the food was terrible, everything was sticky (likely by the end of each episode), and the show's producers were hit with numerous lawsuits.
- Gyroid Gyroid - A music show that can be brought up by peppy villagers if having a conversation with another peppy villager, saying it was being shown the night before, performing live.
