Ah. Ok. See, I see them as fitting into the "drama" umbrella (given, in a very different way than, say Rescue Me).
I'm in the camp that thinks that an All the Drama thread would be too big. While it makes some sense to sub-genre and divide All the Drama, our experience trying to get the Experimental Threads set up leads me to believe that there's no way to do that that isn't more work and confusion. The Network/Cable/Premium split seems like it makes more practical sense.
I also think that discussion of a show should go in the thread which it would have gone in on original airing, so that we keep all of the discussion for that show in one place.
I'm for combining cable and premium drama and having a separate thread for just network drama. All 3 together doesn't make sense to me.
cable/premium together wouldn't really matter all that much to me, but i would really like to keep network seperate. all three together would be a bit much, i think. i definitely think whitefont needs to be a major componet of this because i'm not sure 24 hour works all that well for the drama threads.
I totally don't see Psych and Monk as drama. Am I the only one? I heart Psych like you TOTALLY would not believe, but it's so not the same thing as Army Wives or Rescue Me, IMO.
The Dead Zone also seems like it should go in Boxed Set to me.
And I'm with those who've stayed out of Premium because I don't have it.
Not the same, but I'd put them there, rather than in a comedy thread or a scifi thread. Any more than that, and we're getting into things that will have seriously fuzzy lines, depending on who you ask.
Not to be just randomly contrary, but just to throw it out there: I think I'd put Psych in the comedy thread before Drama. I think it took me a Search session to find it on TWOP in the Drama forum, as well, because it just never occurred to me that it would be in there. It doesn't have that ring of seriousness or wholesomeness or, well, drama, to me.
But I could be alone in that.
Okay, to me Psych, Monk and The Closer are at heart just different sorts of mysteries so they belong together.
Just FYI, I'm off to the airport and away for work the next couple of days, so I won't be around to answer questions or respond or anything, but I'll catch up as soon as I'm back toward the end of the discussion period.
The Dead Zone also seems like it should go in Boxed Set to me.
I agree, but so far I haven't seen anything that will prevent the new/revised thread from from overlapping with Boxed Set. Dead Zone is an original drama for cable. So is The 4400. So is Galactica.

While I agree with this in general principle, in practice, I'm going to end up finding it confusing if a line isn't drawn.
