Alternatively, even if we leave Boxed Set as is but just don't automatically put every *new* sci-fi/fantasy show into it exclusively, that too would help.

Just to make use of what we've found so far: of 53 respondents, 43 have indicated interest in PD, and 20 of those are concerned about spoilage. I wouldn't rule out a separate thread for this show. (Nor am I proposing one, to be clear. Just throwing out some ideas.)

Good point, Brenda.

Where else would we put them? I'm not comfortable opening a new dedicated thread to a show that hasn't yet shown that it can generate significant discussion.

We have to make sure it doesn't get cancelled first.

Also, I think of Pushing Daisies as a Minearverse show because of the double-Wonderfalls connection (Bryan Fuller/Lee Pace).

This++. And as far whether any given show will be discussed in Boxed Set goes, there's never been a formal process to say "this season we'll be discussing shows X Y and Z here" and I don't want one -- discussions happen, and they take off or don't (Sometimes there. Sometimes in Natter. Probably other places too.)

How do I make a poll?

I aired some similar concerns in my comment in the poll. Mainly, why shows that were appropriate for Boxed Set were included, and things like why Daily Show and Colbert were only given one night a week. Also, no mention of some returning shows I'd at least talk about to snark at (like 24).

And it seems that we are back to the same impasse of very different stances on what works and what isn't working.

Here's the thing, when they land in boxed set then it's the folks in boxed set that get to discuss it. I'd love to be part of that crowd, but it is just a non-workable thread for me. If the show does take off in boxed set, then I fear that we have the same issue as in the past, which is resistance to it ever leaving that thread as it is now part of the very fabric of that thread. This leads to yet another show that I am left out of on b.org. I'm not talking about a dedicated thread for all the new shows. Toss some established shows in with the new ones.

Okay, how about Numbers, Pushing Daisies, and 24 as a small bucket. Totally random selection there from me.

I can't see having two places to discuss the same show -- unless the other place is the spoiler thread. It doesn't make sense to me.

I thought that most people had left boxed set due to the SPN discussion. I mean, because they have SPN and felt unwanted in BS they left. Isn't that why there is almost no discussion of Doctor Who anymore? Or is everyone super spoiled?

(Doctor Who is very frustrating everywhere: most people who are likely to discuss it have already seen it and no longer care. Meanwhile the few of us who can't ahem can't find decent discussion that isn't spoiler heavy anywhere.)
