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!

Our wings are not tired.
It is such a big bucket it borders on general tv. The only show I watch regularly on the list is House so I don't have much stake in the discussion. House has always been a Natter thing to me.
Maybe a theme bucket like crime/law would make sense.

My feeling is that shows that get discussed in Natter will DEFINITELY be discussed in a broadcast drama thread - for example:
FNL
GA
House
csi

Kristen, thank you for the list! Because now I know that Men in Trees is coming back, and that gives me a happy.
I think this thread would be really challenging to navigate. Multiple overlapping mini-watch-and-posts during original broadcasts, high likelihood of spoilers for folks who watch delayed (unless we sail in a sea of whitefont), and really difficult to go back and find discussion.

Yeah, I'm starting to think the volume here isn't going to be any big improvement over having the talk in Natter. The only difference I see is if there are no whitefont rules. For THIS thread, I might avoid due to being spoiled (though I usually don't care about that).

I'm with Laura in that this feels too much like a general TV thread for my comfort.

It just sounds to me like it's going to pull too much discussion out of Natter. And I may be a minority opinion on this since SO MANY new thread proposals have hit lately, but I don't actually think there's anything wrong with Natter as it is right now.

The reason we pulled the shows out of Natter was because the talk got lost. The experimental thread worked beautifully because people saw a use for it. Putting these shows back in Natter says, "Just because it worked doesn't mean you can have it, we prefer the clunky chaotic method."

I don't recall this being a problem with the experimental thread. I don't have time to analyze the experimental thread, but does anyone who was in there regularly remember traffic jams?
As I recall, there might have been half a dozen of us talking about any one show at a time. Talk would peak for a show the night of and the day after, then maybe generate 5 or 6 posts until the next episode. It was a cyclical flow.
Also, this presumes that all those shows will have people watching with the same level of interest and interactivity. That was not borne out by the experimental thread. The bucket thread would be for conversation. If you simply want to say "So and So on such and such a show should not wear orange," then that's perfect Natter fodder.

I have yet to understand what's so terrible about a general TV thread--which this isn't.
