So ANTM is about where TAR and Survivor are I guess.
It might be nice to have one non-competition show in there. I'd vote Dirty Jobs, but that might be my hormones talking. I can't think which one gets discussed the most.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was thinking about a balance to the types of shows and networks -- so, like maybe ANTM and Top Chef, and not MMaSM, if that makes sense.

So maybe something like ANTM, Top Chef, AI and Dirty Jobs? That covers pretty much each category of frequently watched shows. Fashion, Cooking, Entertainment and Manly shows? Then when AI ends it can be replace with SYTYCD and we can do other things like that with other shows?

When is the next Top Chef?
SYTYCD starts in May so I think we should definitely have that in there.
I don't want to change too often lest the stompies stomp on us.

Good point with the SYTYCD. Can't speak to the cooking shows as I don't watch them. I know Hell's Kitchen is on right now, but I'm guessing it will end soon as I think it started at the same time AI did.

I'm so confused. I thought the point was to indicate what shows are currently regularly coming up - which includes all three of those, Idol, Survivor, TAR, SYTYCD soon, and what else?

I looked at last summer's thread and it was totally dominated by SYTYCD, and then PR when that started, with occasional incursions by Next Food Network Star.
But, yeah, Idol, Survivor, and TAR will be the main focus for the next month or so.

Project Runway is coming up, too.

Since the language says, "Including but not limited to," I was trying to suggest a few shows that would indicate the range without naming every single thing that ever gets a post.

I'm still unclear -- are we going to change this when shows end or new ones start? At least with this thread, which is pretty much anything unscripted, I'm just not sure it's that confusing to get what we talk about in here.

That's what I thought the header was supposed to be. If there was some question about where a show should be included (i.e. Cupid), it would be indicated in the header.
