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

I guess the new language should be re-seconded.

Do you need a fourth? Lightbulbs isn't open yet, right?

A third and a fourth. But as Jon pointed out, megan's dark for the weekend, so maybe it should all wait.


JenP - Apr 08, 2009 5:51:42 pm PDT #3872 of 6786

Oh, OK. Well, mine's a third then. Until later...

Sorry, I was in transit.

Go ahead, I'll figure something out. And, at this rate, I'll probably be at work on Sunday anyway.

It may all be moot anyway without a fourth.

sorry, I would have chimed in earlier. I lost count.

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

As a follow-up, some counts:

Posts since 1/1:
Procedurals: 500
Cable Drama: 190
Comedy: 155
Premium Cable: 39

Posts in the last year:
Procedurals: 1753
Cable Drama: 1335
Comedy: 711
Premium Cable: 654

Based on that, I would be inclined to close all of them. Although I could see an argument for keeping procedurals since it’s theme-based, and the case-of-the-week structure might mean a different tolerance for spoilers, as with the reality thread.

As for Boxed Set, I guess in my ideal world, we would see what kind of discussion shows generate (and how much) before moving them there.
