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'm leaning towards the opinion that the timing isn't all that great for any aspect of this except the possibility of expanding Premium's scope to being the go-to place for antihero drama. There's a few Premium shows on now and I think FX runs its seasons during the spring and summer, but most of the network tv is winding down.
So, does "antihero drama" capture why SA thinks that FX shows belong in Premium?

It does for me, Corwood.
Thanks, Sean. Y'know, I like your point that we should probably deliberate longer about what we want and why. I realize that I'm being mercurial here, but I'd be in favor of whatever procedural actions need to happen to allow more deliberation and greater consensus.
Dirt as anti-hero drama? Lucy Spiller isn't likable, but that's a stretch.

Including something about short seasons (whatever it was that SA said) would help.
Is there a way to make a revamped Premium one of our trial threads?
Go with the "Premium Blend" idea, come up with a list of the "anti-hero" shows, and throw the currently Premium but not that type shows (Entourage, etc.) back into Natter or another bucket thread?

Is anyone clamoring to talk about Dirt? I don't remember anyone but you bringing it up, and don't know if you're using it as an example of an FX show that doesn't fit or because you want to talk about it or because someone else wants to talk about it and I just missed that reference.

What would need to happen is that Cindy would need to withdraw her proposal, which would send discussion back to Bureau.
I'm not advocating that, just saying what would need to happen procedurally.
I'll glady withdraw it. I don't think there's going to be consensus, but I'll withdraw it and consense on anything I can, back out there. We've been doing this dance since 2003 or 2004. My feet are tired.
We aren't even a full day into lightbulbs on this. I don't understand the despair.
