Is there any software that will do this?
My google-fu is failing me. I remember reading about some media software that would create fake "TV"-style channels with a media collection. For example, I could create a channel for Family Guy and American Dad that I could later tune into and find halfway through an episode that I might not have picked when faced with the choice of "any series, any episode you like". You could set up several internal channels to suit your needs, and select what TV series go into that channel.
...does this exist? Or did I just make it up?

If you're using XBMC, PseudoTV does that. I haven't used it, but it looks pretty cool.
YES! That's exactly the one! Thank you very much indeed :-)
Greatest thing since sliced bread. Pseudotv is now what I use my tv for 90% of the time.
Now that I've installed it and played about with it for a few hours, I can safely say "me too"!
It may have taken a while, but I've slowly but surely gone to pure custom channels for the most part. It's awesome having 50 or so channels of your own design... Tough to think of new channel ideas or layouts sometimes though.
I like PseudoTV. Only I haven't found a way to keep unwatched movies from popping up on my channels. Maybe there's nothing to prevent it, but I don't want to see the middle of a movie (a spoiler maybe) before I have watched any of it.
