I have seen people (non-buffistas) discuss soaps in a serious way, and it's a frightening thing
True, but by "anyone", I meant "anyone on the board",
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The definition given includes soaps.

If someone needs to have the difference spelled out, I'm perfectly happy to have the line "no, this does not include daytime soap operas" added to the ballot.

Alright, I'll have a ballot set up and ready to go in the next couple of hours.

If you don't want soaps in there connie, I think you should say so. It's safest to err on the side of spelling (no pun intended) things out.

I'm adding Connie's line about no soaps to the ballot.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
SA has made the following proposal and received the appropriate number of seconds. Voting discussion is now open for:
So: I propose the creation of two new bucket threads. A Comedy thread, to include the half-hour sitcoms, and possibly other programs (to be worked out in Lightbulbs; may or may not include TDS/TCR and Ugly Betty); and a Procedurals thread, to include shows that work in the Mystery of the Week format (including but not limited to the L&Os, CSIs, House, Without a Trace, etc).
Spoiler font will be decided on a thread-basis, with the same choices offered last time, ie, no white font, 24 hour white font, or 48/72 white font (subject to any other suggestions made in lightbulbs).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As has been mentioned in Bureaucracy, the Procedurals thread theoretically overlaps with the Basic Cable thread, most obviously with L&O:CI moving first-run eps to USA. How to handle that?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The two options, I guess, would be to make the proposal a Network Procedurals thread, or to pull shows from Cable drama. I'm not sure which way I'd be inclined. Maybe a separate sub Q on the ballot?
Personally speaking, I'd prefer to leave TDS and Colbert as Natter fodder.
