That's ok, I was thinking we should hold off until next Tuesday, in case anyone else wants to chime in on Lunar Eclipse. And I thought we could go in alphabetical order of most prominent members. Plus, I still would like to get some input on the format of commentary that we will provide for our 5 choices. I was thinking of naming 3 elements that rank each episode in our Top 5. And, what particular moment resonated with you and why? Or should it be, as bees suggested, just an essay format?
Sorry guys, I've never been in a position to "assign" a project before.

I'd like to get a consensus on start date, lineup (alphabetically?), etc. diane, if you could chime in with your final thoughts, that'd be grand. I was hoping for some feedback about my recent format suggestions.
yo gray . . . you up for some "poll dancing?"
goldilocks, have a wonderful time. rosey-posey, have fun with the birthday boys! and best wishes to all you baseball fans. Football season is not so great for us here in SD. Two home games have been blacked out already.

Umm, I like the TOP 5 list, and either bullet points or essay for each is fine by me. I'm on assignment for the next few weeks, but I will be able to jump on (and all over) the site, even though Tuesday nights will be problematic for October. Just come up with the schedule so I know when to have my own list ready for abuse.
I suppose we will have to figure out what to do when we get to the end of the list. I mean, what happens when all the 'good' episodes are taken? I bet MY top 5 may reflect a similar list from somebody else.
Maybe we should make it a Top Three so the first few folks don't hog all the great great ones???

Thanks, gray, for chiming in with your thoughts. IMO, there will definitely be overlap, but I think each of us has different reasons for having certain episodes on our lists. It's not like first-come, first-served. As we came to realize during the Rewatching Project, every member has something to contribute, whether it be "if you can't agree, disagree" or "mediocre minds think alike." That is precisely why I'm trying to get some confirmation of my format ideas or have fellow members offer theirs. I'm more of a collaborator than a team leader.
That being said, I know everybody is super busy and possibly has playoff fever as a bonus, but can we decide on a format and start date? I have made a couple of suggestions on previous posts. I recommend Tuesday Oct. 12 as our start date. If we choose the alphabetical angle, I think bees would be our first contestant. Otherwise, I could start. Plus, since I've read that a couple of us (myself included) are having difficulty narrowing it down to 5, I came up with an alternative: "Top 6 of 66." Just an idea, to allow one more eppy into the mix and honor our unique and beloved show with a little more creativity. Lemme know!

I've gotta be honest......I think this is a great idea, and I am very willing to contribute, but I can't commit to anything in October. Baseball is something I am as passionate about as I am Moonlighting, and I wouldn't be honest if I didn't admit it's gonna come first this month.
I also am working each Tuesday night, but I will try to work around that starting in November.
There are a few other people who seem to have difficulty with October.......is November any better?
Bottom line, this is your project, witness......you should go with what you think is best for all.

Well, with any luck, we'll be watching a lot of baseball out here, too, but other than that, my Tuesdays look pretty good starting the 19th.
I am also happy to wait until November, however--whatever works best!
As far as format goes, I'm not too worried about episodes being on multiple people's lists--there are so many facets to this show, and so many great moments in the great episodes, that I think we will have food for discussion no matter what. It's going to be hard to choose, whether the number is 3, or 5, or 6, or 10...but maybe picking fewer episodes will force us all to be really introspective about what exactly we love about each and why??
Just my two cents...I'm eager to participate, whenever and however!

I would love to participate in this, but I have the slight problem of not actually having seen every episode of the show...I would vote for postponing until November because of that and the fact that I am working on a political campaign (27 days! 27 days!)

Thanks, diane . . . that's exactly the sort of go-ahead I was looking for, since you're generally in charge around here. I am also happy to wait until November, however--whatever works best! It's going to be hard to choose, whether the number is 3, or 5, or 6, or 10...but maybe picking fewer episodes will force us all to be really introspective about what exactly we love about each and why?? Well, 3 is definitely too few, 10 too many. I was already thinking 5 with a bonus before the Top 6 idea came about, so we'll stick with that for now. And I think we will push back to November.

.....can I change my name to zacknrita??!!.... bee girl, it took me a few moments to get this. No worries . . . another thought was to go backward through the alphabet, which I believe means starting with W -- for w-w-witness. I suppose this was also a hint at one of your choices? You have to keep them under wraps, bees my friend!
