To Kristin's point upthread, we used to whitefont currently airing show in BS, didn't we? I don't remember for how long we white-fonted after airing, though.

Is that a compromise that could work for more than just Kristin (not that you're not whitefont-worthy all by yourself!)? Just throwing it out there.

I realize this is separate from the which shows go where discussion; it just caught my attention.

I'm not megan, I think discussing how we structure what goes where so that it is more intuitive is a worthy discussion.

I totally agree with this, and without the but.

In fact, I distinctly remember being told that revisiting the utility of threads was part of voting them in (but memory is faulty AND I went to ikea tonight so I may have lost even more cognitive ability, so take that with a grain of salt).

I find that I talk TV here much less than I used to. If I want to talk FNL and I usually do, there's no one to talk about it with. And other shows I watch, Greys and House.... well, ditto. But I also find that I don't care that I don't talk about TV anymore, so your interest in TV threads may vary.

I do think we might be better served with a different system. I don't know what that system might be. Day of the week it airs?

Kings is airing on the Sci Fi channel tonight.

Day of the week it airs?

Kills thematic cross-pollination and doesn't cure spoiler ills for TiVoers.

I swear last time this conversation happened, we had the whole "how else can we organize TV discussion" brainstorming. And ended up with nothing. In that there is nothing that works for everyone, and no one found the brilliant idea that would solve everything.

Honestly, I think the most successful threads are the single shows per thread. Hugely unpopular, but the thing that works the best for the many. Except resource-wise.

the thing that works the best for the many

I'm not in that many. I still resent the loss of brainshare with the Supernatural split, for instance. I like cross-pollination. I'd guess so do the people, for instance, who were enticed into Leverage by that very thing.

I think Boxed Set is successful. I mean, gets traffic and has a lot of participants - that's how I'm defining successful. When we did that usage survey a while back, I think it scored as one of the top couple of threads, yes?

I do have a bias in that it is one of my favorite threads.

Huh. And Supernatural is the only single show thread I subscribe to, and that's because it split from BS. I guess I'm a bucket girl. (Can't believe I just typed that sentence.)

You are right. The most successful for me. Don't care so much about cross pollination, I guess.

And I've basically given up on talking TV here. So I guess it fundamentally just doesn't matter that much to me.

Kat is me.

I agree also. Although I think philosophically I am totally against this.

It makes us sound even more contrarian and self-destructive than normal to say something hugely unpopular also works best for the majority.
