I say we hold off for something accurate.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So if we take SA's description here:
Slug: Thread for the discussion of original cable drama--but not scifi/fantasy (that's Boxed Set!) or pay-to-play (that's Premium Cable!). Psychics, detectives, surgeons, and firemen welcome. NAFDA.
Header: Thread for original cable dramas, including but not limited to TNT, USA, TBS, and F/X. Talk about shows that aren't discussed in Boxed Set (The Dead Zone, Stargates, The 4400) or Premium Cable (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax) are discussed here (Psych, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, The Riches, The Shield, Monk, etc). This thread is NAFDA.
and get rid of (The Dead Zone, Stargates, The 4400) and (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax), is that better?

Either that or:
Header: Thread for original cable dramas, including but not limited to TNT, USA, TBS, and F/X. Talk about shows that aren't discussed in Boxed Set (sf/fantasy like The Dead Zone, Stargates, The 4400) or Premium Cable (on HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and the like) are discussed here (Psych, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, The Riches, The Shield, Monk, etc). This thread is NAFDA.
Just as long as open lists are clearly open.

Works for me either way.
On another question upthread, about BBCA, it depends. Manchild would be this thread, So Graham Norton not.

Art Crawl!!!
Would Manchild?
Wouldn't that go in the Comedy thread?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It makes sense to me to just leave off the parenthetical explanations - if someone is not sure what goes in Boxed Set and/or Premium, looking at their respective slugs and headers would clarify better than a truncated description in Cable Drama.

Can I nitpick? If you take out the parentheticals you get:
Talk about shows that aren't discussed in Boxed Set or Premium Cable are discussed here.
Snip either "Talk about" or "are discussed here."

The next writing thread really needs to be called "Here be Nits. Picking at them will make them go away."

Could another stompy please close the Lightbulbs thread? I can't do it from work.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Would you end up closing sixty threads if you tried?
