Well, I think it's back after the Riches - which only has 2 episodes left.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

None of those shows were affected by the strike though, right? Procedurals would have taken more of a hit, but I don't see the strike as having affected the Cable Drama thread one way or the other.
But we are coming up on a year on these threads, and given how acrimonious the new thread creation process seems to be becoming, I think it's really important that when we make the argument that a separate thread will enhance discussion or relieve the burden on Natter, we come back and ask whether this is in fact the case.
My perspective is that this has happened with Reality, but has not with Cable Drama.
What we decide to do or not do is a separate issue. But I don't think the conversation should wait - or, rather, I don't mean it has to be right now but how long are we talking about? Another year? I don't think that's a great idea.

The new ep of Bones triggered some talk in Procedurals and House is back next week.

I love this idea. FWIW. if only it were doable!

Couldn't we sort of do this already? Say, search on "cilantro" just to see if there are any posts about it?

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

More like a Google Alert, I think. So you could get an email whenever people were talking about which hand they hold their fork in.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Riches short season was totally caused by the strike and may have killed the show dead.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think the idea of tagging has also been brought up before, but aside from the technical aspect of things (I assume it would be pretty difficult to implement), I think it would start to feel like we were on the road to becoming LJ or del.icio.us or whatever.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
See, for me, it isn't so much that I know what I want to talk about-- I want to see new subjects as they come up, in a somewhat timely fashion. Again, sort of impossible

It looks like we've got duelling conversational styles. One side has a topic in mind and wants to talk to Buffistas about it, and the other side wants to talk to Buffistas and wants to see what people are talking about at the time.
I suspect we're getting into "Tastes great/Less filling" terrain here.
