Gus, it's just the name. They're current shows.

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!

I just double checked with Allyson. Her proposal has not changed. It's still HBO/Showtime shows.

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
I dont know where Rescue Me and the like came from. I'm specifically talking about HBO/Showtime. That is all the proposal covers and I'm not expanding on that at all. If this were to pass, someone would have to propose to add to it.
I propose it because I think that the shows they offer are worthy of meaty discussion. This does not make Rescue Me or PR unworthy of being in a "All Basic Cable, All the Time" thread. But it's not what I'm proposing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It would be easier for me to get involved in sustained discussions about HBO/SHO shows in a dedicated thread. I don't know if I would have that much more to say. That is, I would have more to say, because I do find myself not posting about Deadwood in Natter to avoid interrupting some other ongoing discussion, and having the discussion in Movies just confuses me (I mostly stay out of Movies to avoid getting spoiled for stuff I haven't seen, since I rarely actually make it out to a theater in anything like a timely fashion). But that's not really a problem that requires a new thread as a solution, more of a rearrangement of my own approach to existing threads.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Claro!
Where do we talk about The Wire?, Weeds?, Brotherhood?
They are all premium things, on the 'nets Allyson mentions in the proposal.

Always Anti-fascist!
I think we would talk about them in there, Gus. At least till we gotta ditch the phones again.

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

If no one interrupted other ongoing discussions in Natter, it wouldn't Natter. It'd be...Catter.

That was an obvious ploy for COMM. OBVIOUS.
