Cult television
Cult television, like cult film and cult radio, attracts a hardy band of aficionados who have diverse opinions as to the cult status or otherwise of particular offerings. (For a fuller discussion of this sense of "cult", see cult film.)Cult television series most frequently have science fiction plotlines. Animated series that are geared toward adults, such as Japanese anime and the occasional American series, often reach cult status. Some programs are originally based on comic book characters, so many followers of the comics may watch and collect episodes of the TV series if the adaptation is considered to be good.

"Lighter" shows can also be considered to be cult television, although they frequently feature social commentary and humor.
