Don't want the too big bucket, don't like the too small bucket, want buckets just the right size.
Ah ha. The Goldilocks thread.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think Cindy's right, that the bucket won't be too big. Should we attempt to name what shows already attract discussion to some degree? Aside from shows that are already in their own threads, the dramas I can think of are:
House 24 The Unit Without a Trace Grey's Anatomy Friday Night Lights CSI Numbers HustleAnd then the shows either in Premium or proposed to be added to Premium: Deadwood Sopranos The Wire Dexter The Tudors Big Love The Riches The Shield Rescue Me

People talk Jericho here and there, too.

I'd also like to talk about Bones somewhere.

2nd on the Bones discussion with ND.
edit: Which I'd put with House, because of the medicalness, though I don't watch any other medical-ish shows.

I think there tends to be some The Closer talk too, although that is on hiatus right now.

We could open threads on a trial basis from now until the end of May. Then we could close them, and talk about what worked and what didn't, and decide where we go from there.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That'd make a whole lotta work for future archiving and sorting, is my first reaction.

What? Adding three threads?
eta...
I'm sorry. I was unclear. I meant trying a version of what bon bon is suggesting (drama, comedy, whatever she suggested over the weekend) from now until the end of May, and then shutting them down, and deciding if we think they work. I didn't mean adding a thread for every show people watch.

I think test threads is perfect. Though over the summer is probably not the time to do it, with nearly everything in hiatus. But I see nothing inherently horrible in saying, "Well, that was a good idea but it just didn't pan out. Next idea?"
