Unless there are any objections, I'd like to host the 2013 TV on DVD* Challenge. I enjoyed it in 2011 and things are calm for me now (unlike last year).

Any potential objections are overruled. Now get the discussion thread up already.

I may have overlooked it - y'know, over the course of 16 pages and all - but has there ever been a Wrestling Challenge? I've wondered that for a while, and didn't see it mentioned.

I think it's safe to say there's never been a wrestling challenge. I'm also fairly certain the thought of doing one hasn't come up before.

May's Make-Your-Own Challenge is specifically set up as a catch-all for any subjects not covered by other challenges. If you, and any other wrestling fans you know, want to have a Wrestling Challenge, that's the time to do it.

Check out last May's discussion and list threads to see how things work.

Wrestling might fit into Action or TV as well.

I'd be down. But, like others have suggested, this might work better as an add-on for the Make Your Own, or something along those lines. Not sure how much attention it would get on its own.

I'm confused, please forgive me but is there a February challenge planned?

The Academy Awards is on February 24 so the Oscar Challenge will be running through most of February.

The start of this thread lays out the rough yearly schedule.

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

^ They answered your question Elijah. February also has Leap Day ever four years

I think that every type of DVD/BD you can buy is covered by an existing Challenge, except for straight drama films that can't be tweaked into another sub-genre. I once thought about starting a Dramedy Challenge to combine and cover those two large genres, but Comedy has prove to be awesome on it's own.

I initially wanted every month filled with a full Challenge, in addition to the two fluctuating Challenges; but most would agree with already at overkill perhaps. Anyone can use the partly empty February, and the May Make-Your-Own for drama or anything else that doesn't fit in another month.

A lot of straight dramas fit into the Oscar challenge. Not all, of course.

^ Yeah, I'm way behind in updating this thread. It's easier for me to do it at work, and I'm back there this weekend, so I'll hopefully remember then and get it all cleaned up.

No hurry, but seeing as this is a short month, and it is almost half over, will we be seeing the Action/Adventure Challenge thread soon? Just curious.

Re: "Official" DVDTalk Challenges Compendium

Ok, pretty much just cut & pasted last year's thread starts, breaking my plan to put some fancy schmancy work into things, but there's always next year. Rules and checklist can be debated for a couple weeks I guess, but I plan for this to always be an "easy" Challenge.

And hopefully I'll update this thread with tables and links for all of the Challenges later this month.
