"Cable Original Programming" would include South Park, Daily Show/Colbert, Adult Swim, etc. I don't think that was the intent at all, but (like SA says) when Brenda gets back she can make the call.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

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!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'd love a thread where discussion of Venture Brothers was as welcomed as discussion of Monk. The only distinction that matters to me is premium vs. non because I am one of the poor kids who has to wait for stuff like The Sopranos to come to Netflix.

As Jon B. pointed out, "original programming" is an even wider net than "drama" is, so I'm not sure how that helps. In fact, "cable original programming" would have a lot of overlap with the new Non-Fiction TV thread.
Bright lines are all well and good, but not everything in television (or life!) fits into a bright, clear lines. And I don't think it has to.
Then any new threads are unusable for me, since I can't guess which threads are safe, and which might contain spoilers for the handful of shows I watch. If I stick to Natter, I am at least guaranteed whitefont.
If it's just me, that's fine. And I realize that sounds passive-aggressive but I do mean it; since I only watch a few shows, it isn't that big a deal to me personally. If it's me and two other people, I'd still say go with it. But at some point, you're alienating as many posters as you're attracting. If the goal is to encourage conversation, that seems like an issue.

If it's just me, that's fine.As one probably could have easily guessed by my earlier posts, it's not just you. I see not point for dividing threads up by genre if shows will be popping up here and there anyway. Especially if the threads' spoiler font rules are voted on separately as they pop up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah--if all discussion is in whitefont in eternity, then it doesn't matter where it happens. But for me, say, why I never asked Deadwood questions in Premium is because my primary motivation is avoidance. Firstly I want to not be spoiled for things I haven't watched yet. Secondly I want to discuss things I have watched, and thirdly and quite distantly I don't want to be distracted by talk of things I will never watch.
Bright lines are appreciated most strongly for #1.

Voting is scheduled to start tomorrow morning-ish. We need a volunteer for vote counting.

I can count votes (it's the least I can do, seeing as I've got nothing to contribute to the discussion).

Brenda said earlier:
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.
