"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

I've never gotten why science fiction and fantasy is a confusing genre, but that's what the vote is for.

I think it is fantasy that's harder to define. I would never have put Journeyman into Boxed Set for example. It's not a "genre" show to me.

Since the bucket threads don't have parellel definitions, there are other weird overlaps too. Is Flight of the Conchords Comedy or Premium Cable? Is procedurals just for Network TV?

I want to rethink the whole structure, not just close threads (although that may be the result). And I would never propose closing Boxed Set.

Official proposal:
Rethinking the structure and/or continued existence of the following bucket threads: Boxed Set, Cable Drama, Comedy, Procedurals, and Premium Cable.

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

But...didn't the guy time travel all the time? How is that not sci-fi?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Move it to Lightbulbs, peeps.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Doesn't she need seconds?

I guess the new language should be re-seconded.
