   People on the tv newsgroup were wondering about a replacement.  (That group is   
   flooded with trolls and political posts).  That Usenet group discusses TV in   
   general.  However, the new forums are specialized by TV show or other   
   category.  Some users like    
   having general discussion forum and not be tied to a specific show.
