the rewording for Procedurals deletes "shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. " which a) is kind of key and b) was hashed out at some point. (I mean, it's obvious for this thread, others possibly not so much.) Adding currently active shows to the end of the description is no big deal, but changing the description of the thread purpose is something we didn't discuss.
It is still there. It's in the header, not the slug.
I don't follow the thread, but I actually thought that was an awesome description.
Shows we watch in Boxed set: shows mentioned originally (but much less so) - also various Stargates, Terminator:SCC, Fringe, Chuck, Doctor Who, Torchwood, SJA, LoM, Ashes to Ashes. I bet we'll discuss Being Human there when it starts airing in the US. I'm guessing that Vampire Diaries discussions will go there. And if that Fox pilot about that's like Sex in the City with Werewolves goes - probably that too.
We discussed Journeyman in there (time travel), Kings (AU), Lost in Austen (AU- time travel to a fictional place).
Does that make sense?
Spy shows, doctor shows, cop shows, pi shows go in either Procedurals or Cable Drama - depending.
(PBS is showing season 1 of MI-5 - so procedurals, right?)
Also - BSG, Caprica, Moonlight - all in Boxed set. Enterprise - when it was new. (But we didn't love it very much here.)
I think the two buffistas who watch Starz can figure out where to discuss the shows. :-)
Oh, I didn't even consider that Buffistas might be discussing
Party Down.
I forgot it would be in that thread.
I didn't even know Starz was still around.
Then again I haven't had cable in three years...
Starz feeds the Netflix streaming, no?

Java, do come into Non-Fic and talk about Survivor and TAR! That's where the Burnett-loving folks hang.
It took me this long to get back to reading that thread, just to make a point about hoping things don't move really fast in here, or if they do, I'm requesting that something be said in Press.
Also, yes! Fun! I will look for TAR and Survivor talk!
I think that the only change should be the addition of a drama thread :)
I would so be behind this!
Re Journeyman in sci fi, I'd have put Journeyman in Procedurals, because it was a mystery about why he was time traveling.
I like the idea of updating the slugs to reflect what shows are discussed where, and it seems like a really good solution to the proposal. I'll give it a crack in Procedurals!
