She just... she just did the math.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Our wings are not tired.
That's not wrong.

Up with the sun
Based on the feedback I've gotten, I am tabling the proposal for one week. When/if I bring it back, it will be about starting specific threads for specific shows.
During that week, I would like to conduct a poll to see which shows we really are most interested in discussing. Because the poll will be nonbinding, I would like to include as many shows as possible, and discuss combining shows into single threads after we know the results. Voters will pick their top three ("no new threads" will be one option) in rank order, because I agree this is a good way to try preferential voting. The show or shows with the most points will move on to the actual ballot.
What I need help with is deciding which shows to include. My preliminary list would be Lost, Gilmore Girls, Joan of Arcadia, Survivor, Alias, Jack & Bobby, Dead Like Me, 24, Veronica Mars, The Daily Show, The OC and The Amazing Race. What else needs to be on the list?
ETA; This post will be updated to reflect suggestions.

Veronica Mars? The Daily Show? 24?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Maybe Veronica Mars, if it survives until then.
x-post, of course.

I second the "24" suggestion (which is slated to start in January)

Veronica Mars and 24 are added.
My problem with starting a thread for The Daily Show would be that it would be hard to keep it from turning into a political thread, and we've voted that down. On the other hand, I do want this to be an inclusive list, so maybe I should just add it and see how people feel.
I would add nip/tuck, but the season is over. Ditto Six Feet Under.

I can't think of any you haven't included.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
As a person who watches nearly everything on time delay, I'm less bothered by white-font in Natter and more bothered by the inability to participate in show discussions because I missed the window during which they were discussed. In devoted threads, that window never closes.
I second this statement. I love watching Lost on Wednesday nights, but I'm not the type to just on the computer right after it ends to post. I'd be able to join the discussion at a later time and not have to interupt other non-show related chains of conversation just to get my comments in.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Maybe it's the Bronzer in me, but I don't understand why you feel you can't pull a meara and reply to posts about a show three days later. If you have something new and interesting to say that wasn't said days ago, then why not just post it? I don't think there's an expiration date on how many hours/days/weeks a discussion is viable for response.
