I'm very confused and need to go to bed.
But not before shouting out a "ha!" to Kat...
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

So all medical and legal shows are procedurals?
I don't know. I'd think that neither ER nor Grey's Anatomy are procedural in nature, though both are obviously medical (I think GA at least is a soap opera...I can't speak to ER as I have not watched it in years, but when I did [ah Doug and Carol] it was soapy too). House, oddly, seems classically procedural.

That still is a bit like "all other dramas" which is what was voted down.
I understand what you're saying better now that you phrased it as "all other dramas." I do still feel though, that in conjuction with the other threads being proposed at the same time, that it would be a splitting of "all dramas" into 2 categories. I mean, if I proposed a bucket for shows A, B, C, D, E, F and G, that had no relationship to each other other than being in my proposal, would that be against the rules in your eyes?

I guess they're not, now that I think about it. I'm not sure which medical shows were meant to be included.
I'm going to bed, too.

Nope. But it would be a lot like what Polter-Cow upthread called NoiseDesign's TV thread. Except of course it would be Denise's TV thread. And Polter-Cow has a point by saying bucket threads without some commonality lack the greater functionality and cross pollination that people enjoy.

that people enjoy.
well, to be fair, some people. Because obviously everyone does not like the same thing out of multiple show threads. sing along with me...which brings us back to you can't please everybo-o-o-dy.

NOOOO!! Everyone must stay up so I can check in on the argument every so often during the night as I work. It will help keep me awake!

yep msbelle. you're right. What I should have said is "that some people enjoy and use as an argument of buckets."

I think that GA could go into Minearverse as we've never made any official policy or had a vote on what goes into that thread and a soap is a soap is a soap.
I see how I could and prolly will talk about Pushing Daisies in Minearverse b/c of the Bryan Fuller connection. It would amuse me more to reopen Lovesick, My Ass (mainly cause the name makes me laugh) and put it there.
I think that people who are enthusiastic about Bucket Threads would get more people on board (like me) by tackling spoiler policy first.
