re: Would there be any interest in a board rewatch of a popular show?

I've never seen The Sporanos either
I could be coaxed into a discussion group about The Sopranos, The Wire or The Shield.
I had decent luck with the first season of Star Trek, but we lost a bunch of folks and I was talking to myself by the end of the Season 2 thread - so we didn't finish it.
Boardwalk Empire just wrapped - I do mean to go back and finish it, I just lost momentum somewhere in the middle. It is intriguing enough.

And it wouldn't even have to be a "serious" show. I was thinking that something like Psych or even a show like Scrubs could be cool/fun to do (although those shows naturally lend themselves to less discussion than more serious shows that are plot driven). FYI, my #1 choice for this would likely be The Wonder Years, but those seasons aren't really available (without having to torrent or something like that).
I don't want to tell you your business, Cokes, but none of those shows are going to work as an episode-by-episode discussion. There are just too many episodes and most are throwaway.
I mean, if you got a show like M*A*S*H (maybe), WKRP, SOAP or Newsradio - but, even then, I would suspect it is doomed to failure.

No I agree with you for the most part. "Serious" shows definitely lend themselves to more/better discussion for sure.
IMO the main problem is time...most people don't want to invest that much time to something, especially when it's not at their own pace. The Fringe thread was up and regularly active for about nine months. That's a long time. The tripod (plus jamsmiley) stuck it out to the end, but I assume even if more people would've participated, they wouldn't have done it week to week like we did; it's just too much of a chore to dedicate that much time to watching a TV show for some people (and understandably so).
