I thought neither ever got an actual proposal or vote (proposal maybe being withdrawn).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

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.

Yeah, I was really disappointed about the Fall TV thread. That one hurt my feelings.

Although I would rarely participate, I'm disappointed too. The comedy people are waiting to propose. Maybe we can come up with a format for show threads that works before the fall shows start up.
My guess is that the network drama failed for fear it was too big a bucket. Maybe a multi part vote for several genres broken up in smaller buckets.
Comedy
Medical drama
Cop drama
Something else
Fall's a comin'
