There is no general TV thread because no one has worked out how to make one work in a way that makes it useful for enough people.
Is Parenthood on cable?
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

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

No, NBC.

The only place we really have a gap is network drama, right?

Always Anti-fascist!
I suppose. I liked Parenthood at first...great cast, but then I thought there was too much "hugging and learning" in it.

Yeah, I end up squeeing about The Good Wife in Natter.
... could we talk about The Last Resort in Boxed Set? I mean, it's got a rogue US submarine and all. Sounds kind of genre-ey.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Not that I want too, but we could revisit having a vote for a bucket thread of network drama, if there is enough interest. it is possible there weren't any good network dramas at the time of our experiment. (also, I love parenthood. and Mae Whitman.)

My nay vote wasn't because there was nothing to talk about, it was because I didn't see a good way to talk about anything.
Is Last Resort sci fi or fantasy?

Can I ask how you see the concept of a network drama thread as any different from any of the other threads that group together a type of show?
Is Last Resort sci fi or fantasy?
Maybe if you consider it alternate reality? It doesn't really seem so to me, but I don't know where they plan on taking the concept.

Less so than Revolution, in any event. I was sort of cheating: so far as I can tell, it doesn't violate the laws of physics or biology, just politics. But if it's good, I won't have a place to talk about it here except for Natter.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I'm in the same place. It looks like it could be interesting! Plus, Andre Braugher, in what appears to be a meaty, morally complex role! If it's in Box Set, we'll have the place to talk about it, but I suspect the discussion won't be sustainable if it's happening in Natter. But I agree it's pushing it to call it genre.
