Neither do I. Let the UnAmericans decide!
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Does it have to be limited to Showtime and HBO. Granted, I don't think any of the other premium stations have original programming, but I could see people wanting to discuss Slings and Arrows or the like.
And, Cinemax could create a new soft porn drama and we know how Buffistas like their pron.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ah, sweet anti-proliferation arguments, how I have missed thee.
I agree with:
Personally, I also like having TV talk all over the place,
but not because of:
because it forces people to check out threads they might not otherwise go into. It fosters community, or something.
It actually functions opposite for me. If there are shows being discussed in other threads (typically, than Natter & Boxed Set for me, personally) then I completely forget their existence. Whereas if there were fascinating whitefont or general blackfonted discussion in Natter, I would perhaps get interested in the show. That's what happened to me with PR. Like, I've completely blanked out the existence of that...you know...whadda call...Victoria Mars or whathaveyou.
That being said, I don't have premium channels (or UPN for that matter) so I don't really care if there's a premium channel thread. Except for the basic anti-proliferation reasons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's not on a premium channel, is it? I know it showed up on my cable, and I don't get anything premium.

Slings & Arrows is on AMC, I think.

That's a big blurring of the lines, methinks.

I think it's on Sundance. That's considered a premium-type channel on my cable.

And not premium on mine, it seems. So I think one needs to be clear with the definitions.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Shouldn't we open the voting thread for this talk, since Allyson's proposal got the right number of seconds?

Oh, maybe it is Sundance. Which is kinda sorta premium, since you need the digital package to get it. But only kinda sorta.
