Frankly, there's no harm in having a comedy thread, even if its mostly one show. I like the threads as they were.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?
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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
since I plan on catching up on/picking up several of those shows soon
If we keep the threads, I'll probably pick up a show or two this fall. So even though I only discussed The Office on the comedy thread, I also support keeping it an all-comedy thread. With the possibility of creating one or more dedicated threads if traffic warrants.

What is even happening?

The half hour comedies have less text per week to discuss. If one breaks away (and that may well be The Office) and proves too much for a bucket thread, we can deal with it, then.
In general, I think that may be my preferred option for how we treat TV, while keeping a check on thread proliferation. Have some sort of general buckets (I think the buckets we had in the experiment need some tweaking though; I don't think they were the platonic threads), and when a show takes over, consider whether it merits a thread of its own, or not.

All is well that ends in pizza.
There may be discussion of Venture Brothers.
VB would be welcome in Boxed Set, methinks that is where we discussed it last time. Maybe.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Before we move past the non-fiction proposal I'd like to ask this. Is the goal for most people to have a place (outside of Natter) for any tv show you can think of?

Not for me.

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?
Then what is the goal?

Not explicitly, no. But it's an interesting question. What do people think specifically should stay in Natter?
(Personally, I'd first nominate Daily Show and Colbert and shows of that ilk, especially since there seems to be some confusion over them in the first place.)

Focused discussion without becoming lost in the larger discussions of Natter. I can say, "Wow, DB was especially hot last night" in Natter and possibly get a response, but in a dedicated thread, I can say the same thing and figure someone will note it and even reply two or three days later.
