Broadcast Drama seems very...broad. I don't know how you could find the right discussion, especially when every night of the week, multiple shows people are watching will be airing, often at the same time. This is in theory, however; maybe the actual number of shows Buffistas want to talk about it is very small.
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

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!

For the sake of this conversation, I pulled together a list of the dramas (which I'm defining as one-hour programs) that are going to air this fall. (I already pulled out comedies, reality shows and programs that have their own dedicated threads.) Some of these will probably be discussed in Boxed Set but I left them on for now:
MONDAY
8p prison break, chuck
9p k-ville
10p csi: miami, journeyman
TUESDAY
8p ncis, new amsterdam
9p the unit, house, reaper
10p boston legal, cane, law & order: SVU
WEDNESDAY
8p pushing daisies
9p private practice, criminal minds, bones, bionic woman, gossip girl
10p dirty sexy money, csi:ny, life
THURSDAY
8p ugly betty, smallville
9p grey’s anatomy, csi
10p big shots, without a trace, er
FRIDAY
8p men in trees, ghost whisperer
9p women’s murder club, moonlight, friday night lights
10p numb3rs, las vegas
SUNDAY
8p viva laughlin, life is wild
9p desperate housewives, cold case
10p brothers & sisters, shark
ETA: I just realized that the NBC shows are probably off a bit since I haven't updated my grid since NBC's post-upfront shuffle.
EATA: Updated! Chuck and FNL were the only changes.

Oh my god, I am not going to be able to leave the house on Wednesday. And when did Bones move to 9PM? crap.

September 19 is when it premieres. I dunno if they're going to move it to the new timeslot before then.
And, yeah. I think I'm going to have give up Criminal Minds. Even with my crazy teevee setup, I can't keep up with all of that.

The status is NOT quo.
Eep. That's an awful lot of shows in one thread.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
That is an awful lot of shows for one thread. And the thread did get a fair amount of traffic as an experimental.

For the record, I really don't want to just recreate all the experimental threads.

Most of them didn't work for me, but I seem to be in a minority on that count. This thread proposal encompasses way too many shows in one thread for me. I think my threshold for bucket threads is probably 4 shows or less.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
yeah. even taking out Chuck, Pushing Daisies and Bionic Woman that's still a hell of a lot of shows for one thread.
it almost seems worth it to do something like a Drama thread for each network, but for those who are really against thread proliferation this would be a problem.
the network drama thread was the biggest issue for me with the experimentals because i tend to get days behind on my watching and i can't go in for fear of being spoiled for something else.
at least with a network drama thread for each big net i could stay fairly caught up.
