"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

This just eliminates a Network Drama thread, though, right? This isn't the end of the television question altogether. So we could open a proposal on genre threads

Yes. Howerver, I know folks have been talking about proposing the equivalent of the experimental comedy thread, and I'm not sure how rushing a proposal might go at this point period (either the comedy thread OR something else).

You mean, never failed, don't you?

Meep. Yes. And edited to make you look crazy.

Threads have been voted down before - general TV and politics, at least once each.

I thought neither ever got an actual proposal or vote (proposal maybe being withdrawn). Am I misremembering?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

You are both misremembering!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I delurked in 2003, I think, as a Wonderfalls fan. I think P-C and Kristin showed up around when I did.

i'm in good company with all of you! i lurked in the Firefly days, but never had anything to say. Wonderfalls made me register and say something.

bummer about the Network Drama thread.

Yeah, I think I remember that one. It got voted down hardcore back then. Seems sentiments have shifted in the last two years.

Our wings are not tired

I'd be happy to see a proposal for a set of much smaller bucket threads to cover the network drama shows. I voted against it not because I don't want those shows covered, but because I didn't want them in single bucket that large.
