Are there interesting new shows that would fit?

Medium?
Hmmm.
What about Canterbury's Law? New Fox show with Julianne Margulies and Aidan Quinn. (Could be procedural -- not sure.)

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?

I met on Women's Murder Club and it was pretty procedural.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I think part of my reason for thinking this isn't a particularly large bucket is because I was basing off the poll results, which identified House and Bones as the strongest draws, with Criminal Minds, WAT, and Numb3rs as less so. The results may have changed since then; I don't know. But having a a core few with a handful of "OMG James Marsters is a serial killer on CSI *again*" posts doesn't, to me, mean a big bucket. I'm sure people disagree with that, but hey, that's voting for you.
With regards to the spoiler/whitefont thing--that's up for voting too. If it's an issue for enough people, it will shake out in the vote. I'm not trying to disregard what people think, but I do believe that the process works with regards to these issues.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The episodes of Medium I've seen do seem to fit the upthread definition of procedural.

K-ville (I'm not 100% sure if this one is a procedural)
that one strikes me as less procedural and more cultural.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But I don't know that it will generate a lot of discussion here, is the thing. There's a difference between what could be discussed and what will be discussed. Part of the problem, though, is that people who are avoiding spoilage won't know what's actually going on in there, only what the potential is.
