Thinking while typing here:
I have no problems with consolidation, although yes I can understand that someone who watches only Farscape and not DS, Smallville, SG-1 or Highlander might have a hard time wading through the thread to find the posts that interest them.
See, I only have an interest in Smallville, but would visit a combo thread as much as I would visit a single thread, which is to say not a huge amount, because Smallville doesn't get slammed with a lot of posts, even during new eps. I'm also a veteran skimmer so the thought of having to skip stuff doesn't phase me.
So I still would like a way to combine those three threads but seem stuck on how to do that. If they are combined, what is the thread exactly?
If they are combined, what is it?
I think "Fannish TV" works as a general label.

Okay. Then what happens with spoiler bits? Should it matter? Does it matter? Smallville and Stargate are the only ones that get new episodes, I believe. So then what?
Other random thought . . .
Fannish TV as a name takes me right to Ikea. It goes like this in my brain:
Fannish TV. Finnish TV. Finns are near Swedes. Swedish TV. Swedish Furniture. IKEA!

I think the easiest way would be that standard spoiler rules (i.e., no unaired stuff, etc.) would apply, but once a show has aired, no whitefont, and if a person hasn't seen that week's episode of, say SV, then they enter at their own risk.
That's the only feasible way to make a (more) general-interest thread work for this number of people.
Based on what most people are saying, it seems like we could combine all three into one Genre TV thread.
Fannish TV. Finnish TV. Finns are near Swedes. Swedish TV. Swedish Furniture. IKEA!
Kat's brain has too much iced tea fueling it.
Spoilers are an issue. Personally I don't care what happens on Smallville and I don't really want to see Smallville mixed in with the Due South/HoYAY Whatever it will be thread but I can deal. But I know spoilers are an issue there.
With Stargate it's a little bit different people are more lax, maybe because there are so many different times and seasons being aired. I'm not sure.
Also Fannish TV is kind of an odd label because the whole board is kind of fannish, Due South, etc is just... well, it's just become llike a junk drawer.
Sadly, I've had no iced tea in about 2 or 3 days.
It's just the way my brain works.
So the Ikea thread with new stuff white fonted for a week?
(Wouldn't The O.C. be included?)
