I loved all the threads equally. except maybe the cable drama thread because i don't watch a lot of the cable shows. though, i guess with the summer shows starting up (ie The 4400, Dead Zone, etc) i probably would have had more to say.
i'm definitely behind a proposal to bring them ALL back.
Oy. Network drama continuing in the same format as the experimental thread would not thrill me. I'll have to frame my thoughts on that later though.
I think the Comedy and Drama threads would have been used more if there was a better spoiler policy. Something like 1 week white font seems reasonable.
I really enjoyed the other tv threads. I think that I read all of them although I posted mostly in Cable Drama, Network Drama and Non-Fiction. (HIMYM is pretty much the only comedy I watch with any regularity.)
I think Cable Drama should be folded into Premium. I'm also behind modifying the Network drama whitefont rules because I was never able to enjoy it given I might be behind on one or more shows most of the times. I want to hold comment on the other threads for the mo'.

I think they were used quite a bit. I also think that the amount of people that would use it if there were a one week white font rule would be offset by the amount of people that would no longer use it as much if they had to white font everything. That can be sussed out in a vote, though.
Love Non-Fiction as is. I could get behind 24 hour whitefont for Network Drama. A week feels like too much. I have more to say when I'm not at work and feeling like ass.
Cable drama folded into premium sounds like a good fit to me.
I think folding cable drama into premium would works best (and am also amused at this, since it was a suggestion to do exactly this that started this whole thing in the first place).
Network drama and comedy both seemed successful, but they also both seem to need further modification -- be it white font rule modifications, or futher seperation of shows. They seemed to work okay as they were, and got plenty of posts, but they may need modification anyway.
The non fiction/reality thread so far seems to be functioning perfectly as is. The perfect mix of cross pollination and popularity, and not too much concern over being NAFDA.
I loved all the experimental threads and would like to see them become permenant. I think the 24 hr whitefont that the cable drama had would work well with network drama because it gives you a heads up that a show is being discussed without immediately spoiling you.
I am also in favor of the experimental threads in general and agree that Cable Drama and Premium Cable belong together. I haven't spent much time in the experimental threads because of other obligations, but hope that they are here in the future when I have more time for TV.
