Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yup.

Now, clearly. What I mean is that if Procedurals were greenlit, wouldn't it make more sense for it to go in there? The definition of the thread should account for that.

(Mostly, this comes from the fact that Monk and Psych sound like they should go in that thread too, if House would be considered a Procedural.)

Art Crawl!!!

But we're separating cable/premium cable/network from each other and House and 2 out of 3 L&Os are network.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm all for these two threads, as everyone probably guesses, but I couldn't help thinking a semi-gleeful "To the barricades!"

I hope you put an "Alors!" in front of that, young lady. There are standards to maintain.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Hey, did we ever determine the spoiler policy for Cable Drama? The header is still "TBC."

Trust my rage

Was there a comedy question too or am I imagining that?

eta: I guess I am confused because I thought we were voting on procedurals and comedy. Obviously, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I thought there was a comedy question too. I am confused.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Denise's post is an old vote result, to answer SA's question about the spoiler policy in the Cable Drama thread.

I was confused, too.
