But right up against BSG - as i said.
I figured Bionic Woman was a Boxed set show.

i've always assumed that anything sci-fi belonged in Boxed Set and therefore Pushing Daisies, Sarah Connor Chronicles and Bionic Woman all fall into it.
I don't have a problem with PD being moved into Minearverse, but the other two seem to be obvious BS shows to me. if BS isn't for sci-fi shows specifically, perhaps the slug needs to be changed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, I don't see how SCC and BW aren't in Boxed Set.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
SGA comes back September 28th, if anyone was wondering.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I thought Bionic Woman, Pushing Daisies, Moonlight, and probably Reaper were all BS shows.
I went through the current poll results and filtered out the ones that had ten or more votes, and then tried to group them into like categories.
Comedies (Really, I think this is pretty straightforward: How I Met Your Mother, The Daily Show/Colbert Report, 30 Rock, The Office
Quirky Drama: Chuck, Bones, House, Numb3rs
Other Side of Drama: Journeyman, Friday Night Lights, CSI
Or Possibly Procedurals/Mystery of the Week: Bones, CSI, House, Numb3rs
This can, of course, expand to the other shows. I was just trying to see if there were distinguishable relationships between the shows we were going to watch.
Unrelatedly OMG where can I talk High School Musical 2 because I am so delighted right now by the cheese.

Okay, but the suggestion was made that things didn't necessarily automatically go in Boxed Set, so that's where I was coming from.

How can you tell what is going to inspire "media fannish" behavior before the season starts?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Right now it's for "Discussions of sci-fi/fantasy shows we watch." The simplest reason, say, Bionic Woman wouldn't be in there is if we're not watching it.
Otherwise I don't see a case for it.
Even if I had ever understood media fannishness to think it was a bright line description of the thread's content I probably wouldn't try and argue that any sff shows belong anywhere else (except by authorship--PD seems to be BS enough too) because it's not something that can be explained or recorded simply.
