What is even happening?

I don't care, either way. If it were a thread in which I'd been active, because the subject matter is exactly the same, I would prefer naming and re-slugging the experimental, just so the conversation could continue easily, but I don't think it's a big deal. It seems to me it should be SA's call. It was her proposal.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I vote for renaming and reopen. We had conversations in there and I would like the conversation to keep going. It's all here what the history of the thread is.

I *love* the proposed new title.

Note: if someone feels REALLY strongly that it should be a new thread, I wouldn't fight it.

Couldn't we put a Natter-esque "Discussion continues here" link at the end of the closed thread, and reference it with a link in the slug of the new one so anyone interested in the prior conversations can go back easily?

That's a good idea, Matt.

Fine with me.

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

Okay, it's open. Let us know if anything needs changin'.

Thanks, DXM. Looks good to me.

So can we talk about smooshing Cable in with Premium? Is this something that people are generally either okay or no preference about? Because Rescue Me is on, and The Dead Zone, Psych, Monk, and The Closer are back soon as well, like beginning of July. I'm keen on a place for discussion, and (probably unsurprisingly) I'd still like that discussion to be in Premium.

I want cable drama separate from premium because I don't get premium.

What are the whitefont rules, if any, in the existing premium thread?

Don't know where I stand on this, but I'll second if you're proposing, because I think this could be an interesting discussion.
