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.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

move out and draw fire
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I really don't like the whitefonting for a week -- I think experience has proven that the more we have to step around dates and deadlines and is-it-one-week-or-two and has-it-aired-yet-in-Tucumcari, the less good discussion we get.
People like to watch and post.
People don't like to deal with whitefont.
I say, make it straight-up if-it's-aired NAFDA.
edit: and, I'm x-posty as all hell. Continued in lightbulbs, if we've got the seconds.

Okay, I second it.

Yes, this.
And Tep's second brings it to four: Cindy, me, Plei, Steph.
