Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

What is even happening?

I think NAFDA is enough.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Heh. Experimental TV sounds like we're all on a reality show. Thanks for putting them up Liese.

Do Fox shows belong in Network or Cable drama?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I dunno why it did that, I couldn't specify both the folder & closed at the same time.

Yeah, it's a known bug. Happens every time.

Do Fox shows belong in Network or Cable drama?

Shows on the regular FOX belong in Network.

Network Drama: for discussion of dramatic programming on those networks generally available, even to those viewers who do not have cable TV -- ABC, CBS, The CW, FOX, NBC, and PBS.

Cable Drama: for discussion of dramatic programming on cable TV outlets which are not currently covered in our Premium Cable thread. (Drama is split between Network and Cable for the duration of this experiment, because an all-inclusive drama thread might be too big, and not conducive for sustained discussion, and because people's viewing habits differ).

Comedy: for discussion of scripted, fictional shows (think The Office, Scrubs, HIMYM etc.).

Non-Fiction TV: for discussion of non-scripted (a.k.a. 'reality shows') programming, documentaries, and the like.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Ummm, I don't have cable, and I don't get The CW. Maybe that's just my local problem though.

What is even happening?

The CW is a broadcast network (as opposed to cable), it's just that it has fewer affiliates (which is why it's worded 'generally' available, rather than just 'available').

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I figured we'd end up with a week's white font for network drama, 3 days white font for cable, and NAFDA for the other two categories.

OMG, you peeked at my ballot!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I've got to say the experimental TV threads seem to be working.

And Natter doesn't seem to be suffering for it.
