As I understand the current proposal, there are two proposed threads, right? A comedy thread and a procedurals thread?
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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!

I find the question of where to put Monk if this proposal goes through interesting. In essence, what it boils down to is which categorization is more defining of a program, the channel it airs on, or it's genre (note that genre is often defined rather broadly). It seems to me that depends on the show. Rather than shunting Monk discussion into one place, why not see where the conversation pops up?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That also depends on the day -- Mad Men pretty clearly "belongs" in Cable Drama, but on at least one day, there was some pretty involved discussion of it in Natter.
I guess my question is really, what will people be discussing in a Procedurals thread. I mean, I watch a TON of Law & Order, but almost never have anything to say about it beyond random guest stars who have since become someone.

I'll definitely be in there to talk about Bones and House, if nothing else. A lot of what I'm interested in for the new season is more Boxed Set oriented. I'm sure some of the JM fans will show up in Procedurals to talk Without a Trace.

This is kinda how I feel about all the tv talk. If people would just start talking about the shows they want to discuss(wherever they frequent), I think people will either join in and therefore a need for a thread will be shown, OR people will not join in and a lack of interest will be obvious.
It has always seemed simple to me for what is such a talked and re-talked topic.

This is kind of what I'm afraid of. I don't think those two shows together generate enough conversation for a whole thread, and you still get the spoiler problem of the bucket thread.

I think that a show can be discussed in more than one thread.

I think that a show can be discussed in more than one thread.
Also, hadn't we previously stated that anyone can discuss anything they want, including current TV shows, in Natter? Because, you know, it's Natter?

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'll third Vortex and Ailleann. As if that were necessary.
