I would love, love, LOVE to have a place to discuss The Office with Buffistas.
Me three.

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.

"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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Is BSG mid-season replacement? I'll also be wantin' to talk torchwood come fall, bless Boxed Set.
Thanks for the survey, Brenda, it'll be interesting to see the answers. I voted no on the Drama thread because I really want smaller buckets and I thought there would be more likelihood to pass them now than I did before.
Also, yay, fifteen shows for me. That's slightly less challenging than last year's twenty, though mid-season replacements may be daunting.

Most new dramas on FOX this year are scheduled for January/midseason. I think the only new drama this fall will be K-Ville. (New Amsterdam was supposed to be the other one but it's been moved to January.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Doesn't Fox usually do that, because of baseball?

I can't access the survey I get a Cannot Find Server error. How long will the survey be up? Is anyone else having problems?
