All I see is Deadwood discussion; are there other homeless HBO/Showtime discussions?
I imagine there will be Wire discussion when that starts up again next month.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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!

HBO is a little different, since you either have it or you don't, but I wouldn't be watching Project Runway, Grey's Anatomy, or eagerly anticipating picking up the Slings and Arrows DVDs if they hadn't been popping up in non-dedicated threads. On that basis if nothing else, if we did decide to go this route, I'd prefer it to be a very strictly defined thread.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, I've read the discussion and the proposal and I am not sure this avoides the "general TV hoopla" by being specifically a HBO/Showtime thread. People are still asking where they can discuss specific shows that do not fall under this category (e.g. House).
Is it time yet for a general TV thread?

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

I don't think it's about when so much as about how.
I still can't find a proposal for a general TV thread that would be at all useful to me, and I eat television.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The proposal seemed pretty clearly specific to me. I don't understand why someone would think House/PR would fit here.

What has changed since the last time we voted that down? (Or... what ita said)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Rome & Sopranos would both be in Premium Boxed Set, when they start up again.

I don't often watch the stuff on the premium channels (I only get Showtime, no HBO), if I did, I would prefer a thread where I could find them. It's just like it took me a while to find where Eureka was being talked about. I skimmed Natter for it and couldn't find. Finally asked myself, maybe boxed set as a genre show, because I don't normally hang there. And then I found it. Knowing that I can find the premium shows in a premium Thread will make it easier to find if I decide to start watching more TV.

I feel a little left out. My shows aren't worthy of their own thread.

I don't think the poster thought that. But didn't know where "House" would be discussed.

The other House and PR fans seem to be doing fine, and as someone with no interest in either show, it doesn't bother me in the least to skip over the discussion.
