S3 was bumped back up -- broadcasting in an hour and a half, instead of just one hour.
Sweet. They caught the re-up.

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 don't understand why we're making the procedural bucket so big. It seems to me that an awful lot of people thought the experimental bucket threads were too big.
I've given up on this issue. I figure I'll just vote no and see how things fall out.

I don't think it's big. ::shrug:: It's a subset of the larger television discussion. Seems to me that's filtering it down.
You mean that you don't want which comedies in this thread? There really are only a couple that get any sort of conversation at all: HIMYM and the Office. Possibly some of the Fox cartoons. And TDS and the Colbert Report. That's maybe 6 or 7 things.
I agree with sumi.

SA, I think the concern is that current discussion is white-fonted in Natter (or other threads), so there's no risk of spoilage, no matter how many shows are being discussed. The problem with having a big bucket is that we would be moving discussion of each show into a venue that either isn't whitefonted or is only whitefonted for a short period of time, so it's "big" because you have to be caught up on all of the shows you want to watch before you can go into the thread to talk about one without fear.
I'm personally less concerned about being spoiled for procedurals than I am for many other shows, but I just wanted to clarify why some see the bucket is "bigger" even though it is filtered down from general TV-talk.

Well, how big is this bucket? I see Bones and House as being fairly strong draws. WAT and Cold Case probaby a step down from those. The CSI/L&Os I think seem to be more "hey, so-and-so's guest-starring" than actual discussion. What else? Oh, Numbers, I'd guess, might be up there with Bones and House, or close.
Other shows I'm missing? Because so far, that doesn't sound like it would be too much to keep up with or be spoiler-avoidy.

Medium?
Hmmm.
What about Canterbury's Law? New Fox show with Julianne Margulies and Aidan Quinn. (Could be procedural -- not sure.)
Kristen - Aug 23, 2007 10:25:14 am PDT #7732 of 10289
I'm not sure about that one. Or the show about the cop wrongfully convicted who gets cleared and tries to resume his old life, which I think is Life.

Canterbury's Law sounds like it could be. I don't think K-Ville will fit, but I could be wrong. Dunno about Women's Murder Club - it sounds a little more soapy, but who knows.
Criminal Minds I could see being a discussiony show. Is Medium procedural? I haven't seen it.
So, to me, it looks like maybe a core of 5-7 shows that might have sustained discussion, and a handful of one-off post type shows besides.
What's the general reaction to that? Is that too big a bucket?
