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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So....are we thinking about a single thread for Office (which I think would work considering the interest) or a bucket Comedy thread?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, it's a mid-season replacement. (I think that they have a day that they're putting it in, but I cannot recall which day it is.)
ETA: It's supposed to be on Sunday nights.
