Given all the threads we can close soon, I don't think there should be a problem with a general TV thread. I'd prefer a general TV thread, rather than ME alum specific, only because it'll give us an idea of what Buffistas watch, and what's going to be our next thing. People who aren't interested can still post in Natter about their shows, as they always did, in white font.

If it is a flop, we can close it after one thread. If it's a success, it gives us a decent way to gage the TV interests of the community and if there's any show that needs its own thread.

If someone proposes, I'll second.

OK, I'll propose a general TV thread. (edit to clarify: I propose a thread for all TV shows that are not BtVS, Angel, or Firefly).

I don't watch a lot of shows, but Jess' point is good. Didn't occur to me to go look in the dueSouth thread for SG-1.

Raquel - do you want to add anything to that (not that you can't do that after slogging it out in i Lightbulb ), but do you want to make it NAFDA with no white fonting required, etc.?

I would highly recommend that a general TV show thread be declared NAFDA, or somehow marked as "if an episode of something has aired, but you haven't seen it, enter at your own risk..."

And no need to whitefont if anything's aired.

I've been pondering. White fonting TV shows doesn't make sense to me, but I know that other folks on the board don't want to be spoiled, esp. for the reality shows. Also the NAFDA factor applies.

How about: NAFDA, anything that was in the previews for an episode is legal, white-font for one week after original air date. If the show is in syndication, no white-fonting necessary.

When should I take this over to Lightbulb?

Well, counting Cindy's second, you can take it over to Lighbulbs once you have three more.

Except I'll second, too.

Which means you need two more seconds.

When should I take this over to Lightbulb?

When you get four approvals -- how many do you have?

second

white-font for one week after original air date.

I really don't like this, because a lot of people watch and post, and come in to work the next morning wanting to discuss something, and if there are 50 new posts of nothing but whitefont, that's a real pain.

We never did it for any of the other show threads -- Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Farscape, Smallville.

But I guess I can take that to Lightbulbs if you're really wedded to the idea.

I'm with you on this, Steph.

Which means you should second the idea, so we have our four seconds, and can take it to Lighbulbs for to discuss.
