I haven't watched any of Harper's Island yet--is it a procedural?
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

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

Art Crawl!!!
Maybe not. I thought when it started that it was going to be a mystery. But it seems more Horror movie-related.

No, it's not. This should be Natter fodder.

Well, we could propose a TV Horror thread.

Not javachik
You couldn't pay me to watch Harper's Island (I scare easily) but I'd think it is a procedural, since the point is to figure out, eventually, who dun it. At least that's what it looks like from the ads on teevee.
to give an idea as to which 3-5 shows are likely to be dominant in that thread at that time
so, Bones, House...
Bones, House, All the CSIs, Criminal Intent (is that a L&O?), all the L&Os, Medium, Life, um....

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Just saw the most recent Bones and YAY Stephen Fry. And so much else - Sweets in death metal dress for instance. My one beef - if Gordon was in a glam band, would there have even been spandex? I thought that was an 80s invention, and no matter what music you were making, there really was no "Glam" in the 80s.

There's no one on Harper's Island trying to figure it out, really--I don't think it fits the traditional procedural format.
there really was no "Glam" in the 80s.
Gary Glitter wasn't Glam?

Dude. Ziggy Stardust.
ETA: Also,
no matter what music you were making, there really was no "Glam" in the 80s.
If we're focusing solely on the 80s, let us look at Freddie Mercury...

Right. But was that spandex? I thought it was lycra back in the day.
ETA I went to Wikipedia, and Lycra IS spandex. Invented in 1959. So, yeah, that was the stuff back in the day. Learn something new every day.

Lycra is simply a brand name of spandex.
