okay, I'm not a huge TV junkie. Once I left high school my TV watching declined considerably (except for sports).

If I read a thread about a TV show that will air that night, and the summary looks really, really, really, really good, it might be too late for me to set my vcr, as I might not make it back to my place until after the show has aired.

But if I read a day or two ahead of time about an episode that looks really, really, really, really good, I'll have ample time to set my vcr if I know I'm not going to be home.

Can I also make a request (that I thought was common sense, but maybe it isn't) that people use the complete title of a show when creating a thread? For example, using "My Name is Earl" instead of "Earl" or "MNIE".

I think that's a good suggestion. But, there's plenty of shows they may even be better known by their "short names": SNL for example.

Spelling the name out would make it easier to search for though, even if most people are familiar with an abbreviation.

In those cases, the best of both worlds would be to title "Saturday Night Live (SNL) MM/DD/YYYY" etc...

Can we do something about the insistence of fans of a certain long running Comedy Central comedy starting their threads early on what appears to be a regular basis? I don't want to start a fight about it in thread because that worked just oh so well last week, but there is honestly no good reason for South Park to get this treatment and not at least a good half dozen other shows. If it takes that step, the whole policy goes to hell.
