Most award-givers call Ugly Betty a comedy: [link]
Doesn't mean we have to, of course.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I'd put Betty in Drama. It describes itself as a comedy drama, which doesn't help. Daily Show I'd consider comedy, and airs on Comedy Network.

I consider Ugly Betty a comedy more than a drama.
My Name is Earl was new this week, and I didn't see anyone talking about it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
But it's impossible for me to know if something's being talked about without looking, and looking = spoiling. Not in every case, of course, but I'd rather be cautious.

iStrata reports that they don't like to start upgrades later than 8pm Pacific. They will do a pre-upgrade survey to give an estimate of the duration.
How does Saturday evening sound?
Saturdays are usually fairly slow here, so that sounds good.

What is even happening?
Colbert and Daily Show too - I'd say reality, but they've popped up in comedy too.I started to list them under "Comedy" in the proposal, but then couldn't decide if they belonged in "non-fiction". I decided to see what happened. They have ended up in comedy, and they're not unscripted, so I think they landed right.
Unless someone really objects, let's put Ugly Betty in Drama.

Oh yeah, ita -- if you have to be available/on-call for any of the change over, then pick whatever time works for you. Otherwise, Saturday evening sounds find to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I start feeling I have to be near a keyboard for the upgrade, I may make it earlier. But Saturdays are historically our slowest, so I figure if they're willing to work then, we might as well take advantage.

I don't know - Colbert and Daily Show are scripted, but they're definitely non-fiction. It seems a better fit to me than the comedy thread.

They ended up in comedy, so it seems easier to just leave them there, doesn't it? Nothing about these threads ever has to be written in stone, because they'll disappear on June 1st. At that point, if someone wanted to propose a reality thread, and include Colbert and TDS, they could.
