Xander ,'Get It Done'
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

It's for science fiction and fantasy. We're likely to be watching science fiction and fantasy. Why not talk about it in boxed set?
I've not been able to use Boxed Set in years and the reason is that there are too many shows in there. I know that it is science fiction and fantasy, it's just one more show in a bucket that is already to big for me.
ND, I would really suggest putting out there some shows you think should have their own threads, or some specific smaller buckets that would work for you.
As I've said before, I really don't care what's in the bucket as long as it is small. I'd be happy with Numbers, NBC Nightly News, Powerpuff Girls, and Leave it to Beaver in one bucket. I actually like disparate shows gathered together because it is much less likely that I actively follow more than one of them and as such I don't have to worry about being spoiled for shows that I'm behind on.
Okay. This is mostly just for fun, and it's certainly the furthest thing from official in any way. But what are people wanting to talk about? And which ones of those do we care about spoilage on?
Survey!
I split things up by day just to shorten the questions, and tried to axe anything that already has an established home. I also didn't split up comedy or drama in any way. But I think it might be interesting to see where we maybe are on some of these.
(Asterisks mean it's a new show - take your best guess on those.)
Thanks for doing that, brenda!
What about The Office and the other comedies?
I would love, love, LOVE to have a place to discuss The Office with Buffistas.

Me too.

Me three.
So....are we thinking about a single thread for Office (which I think would work considering the interest) or a bucket Comedy thread?
If there are just nibbles of interest for other comedy, I'd be tempted to make a Comedy thread, even knowing that it will mostly be Office (Although I would expect decent representation for HIMYM and 30 Rock, at least). I can imagine reasonable arguments for leaving those in Natter, though.
If there's a reasonably small bucket, I tend to prefer buckets, which, like Time Lords, can regenerate with each new season, as new shows fit into them. Also, this means that we have less maintenance work as time passes and shows get hot or cold.
Huh. So Sarah Connor Chronicles doesn't have a night yet? It is then maybe a mid-season replacement on FOX?
Yeah. We know how that goes.
Also, the survey made it pretty clear that, outside of various reality-type shows I've been watching, one new show (Pushing Daisies), and a very small handful of returning shows I'm still watching, I'm almost completely uninterested in the fall lineup.
TV is pulling away from me.
