So, does "antihero drama" capture why SA thinks that FX shows belong in Premium?
Including something about short seasons (whatever it was that SA said) would help.

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!

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?

Dirt as anti-hero drama? Lucy Spiller isn't likable, but that's a stretch.
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.

but I'd be in favor of whatever procedural actions need to happen to allow more deliberation and greater consensus.
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.

What is even happening?
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.

Despair?

I don't think we'll ever get a true consensus either. I see no point in withdrawing the proposal.
I also think April/May is a great time to test out some temporary threads, and don't understand why some people think it's bad timing.

Why do you want to withdraw the proposal?

I can't even.

I was behind in Crazy and hadn't thought the pilot project thing all the way through yet, but my thinking was that some of the key shows that are/have been big convo generators are in hiatus or soon to be.
But then I realized that I'm still thinking of this as a board where I come to primarily discuss (and socialize with afficionados of) genre tv, and by that I mean somewhat sf, fantasy, historical shows and I understand that part of the current discussion is a desire of some folks to open up the acknowledged purposing of the board, the dreaded "not a general tv discussion forum" issue.
Sorry, not always this slow. I blame being work-busy, undercaffeinated and my parents. In that order.
