If so, keeping the same name?

I hear ya!! I think that one probably will be best for TV shows. Just a drag that not everything is in one spot anymore.
There used to be a community called TWOP (Television Without Pity) that shut down a while back. It was snarky and fun. This looks like it's the continuation of that, so I think that will probably be where most land. -

The original TWoP crew (Sars, Glark, Wing Chun, Al Lowe, etc. etc.) was actually the founders of Previously TV, so you're right on the mark there.
Previously TV has the same snarkiness and good discussion as TWOP, but not the psychotic power-hungry moderation. It's a cool place. -

Good to know Scarlett, thanks.
I've been over there for about a week and like it so far. The only thing that's hard to get used to is the one thread per episode and not being able to start a thread about something not necessarily episode-centric. But overall it's a good site. None of the homophobic, women hating, racist, or "Poor me, I'm such a victim" crap goes on there which is refreshing. I can already tell, they would shut that down in an instant, which is a nice change.
It's funny you said that about the moderators from TWoP. I had forgotten that, but some of them did act like this was life and death, lol. -

The funny thing is, the golden era of early TWOP (early 2000s) the mods were very chill. Then Bravo bought TWOP and the mods became powerhungry, nasty jerks with huge sticks up their asses. It was just awful and god forbid you go OFF TOPIC!!!! for a minute. I was actually kind of glad when it died in 2014.
Previously TV is like old-school TWOP, at least the forums. The recaps are sadly not the same. -

I think like previously.tv, but I'm also considering reddit. I like the idea of being able to start topics which I don't think you can do with previously.tv.

I have to admit I feel kind of bad about infiltrating the current SVU subreddit. There seems to be a fair amount of love for Mariska there, and while that doesn't bother me (even though I'm not a huge fan), it could rub some of the posters here the wrong way.
Haven't posted yet, but it looks like it might be a good place to discuss the show. Hope they welcome us. If not, we may have to start our own. -

I made a post in the new 24 Legacy group to just test the waters and people seem pretty friendly. Just like here, each board is it's own subgroup with different personalities. I will have to check out the SVU group there. Haven't even looked at it. But if it's pro MH, that knocks out at least half of this crowd, lol.

Reddit is amazing! I have been a redditor for a long time. You can find anything and everything there! I have never encountered trolls, but I think it because of the choice of subs I prefer. Go check it out. Search something odd and I guarantee there will either already be an existing sub for it, or a ton of posts about it somewhere on reddit.
Also, the Secret Santa and Reddit Gift Exchanges are a total blast!!
I hope to see you over there Miss Kate!
