18851: SMG's "Suburban Girl" on WE Network January 31

We should limit news of repeats to Joss's own shows, otherwise we could go crazy with the glut of info.  Brand-new shows featuring Whedon alums would be a different matter.

18844: Eliza = Jeffrey Dahmer?

The PETA/Eliza issue has already been discussed at length on site and then got deleted cause it turned into a trainwreck of a thread. No real wish to visit it again. Does this prove the maxim "and this is why we can't have nice things"?, who knows.

18840: Review of Amber Benson's "Death's Daughter"

Added to an existing entry about the book which was already on the front page.

18834: Joss muses on New Media

Posted as a YouTube video back on the 16th.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo8ObiF9EDw

18830: Come with me if you wanna live.

A nano-second glimpse of Summer doesn't really justify a front page entry.

18824: 100 Hottest Women of 2009.

No. Just no. It's a bit tacky. Also if you're embarrassed to be posting it, don't post it then.

18817:Danny Strong on "Leverage" The Snow Job ( with Christian Kane)

Danny's appearance was previewed in a link that is still on the front page . . . it helps to check if the news is really, you know, new.

188805: Friday night showdown, by the numbers

We're a blog, not a message board.

18802: Promotional photos for Dollhouse 1x01 "Ghost".

Double posted item.

18795: Scooby Cameo (Sort Of) in Save Hiatus

Save Hiatus has probably been bookmarked by every interested W member and reader; which is not to say that we won't feature links to it when there's a particularly relevant item, but this one really isn't a frontpager. 

18794: Joss-created characters appear in new X-Men cartoon

A good spot, but a bit thin for the front-page.  Would be worth posting at .org, though.

18756: Chud Discusses Cabin Possibilities

The linked article didn't offer us anything new that we hadn't talked about yesterday.

18754: Buffy nominated for Best Comedy TV Show in Hulu Awards.

We don't really need two Hulu entries posted on the same day.

18750: Veronica Mars Movie Finally in the Works

As Zeit notes below, this is not a Whedonesque front-page post.  News about a Whedon alum starring in the movie, or Joss taking a hand, might be - but the show itself, as good as it might be, is not a Whedon show.

18734: Wired Mag's Geekdad continues the Firefly love with this funny top 10 list.

It's a bit light for the front page.

18729: Amber Benson's New Children's Book.

Rather we didn't use Google Cache to get round to logging into a private message board.

18727: 'My Favorite Toy Contest": Anya 'Fear Itself' Doll

Violates rule against self-linking.  And also a little too self-serving, albeit in a cute way.  Punctuation was a bit amiss as well.  I think that covers it.

18721: New Interview with Amber Benson in Sirens of Cinema.

To facilitate discussion, we would need to actually read the interview. A link to where you can buy the magazine doesn't quite cut it unfortunately.

18715: Happy birthday, Buffy!

No objection to birthday threads for actors. But when we start doing it for one character, well it could become the thin end of the wedge and take over the front page.

18712: Victor's name change?

If you want to ask questions, ask them over in the relevant sub-forum at Whedonesque.org.

18646: TWoP's Telefile blogs about Neil Patrick Harris's SNL appearance.

We had a discussion about Neil's appearance on the day,

http://whedonesque.com/comments/18620

18641: An Evening with How I Met Your Mother.

Normally posting about an event about this would be fine. But it's only open to "Television Academy members" so not really relevant to Whedonesque posters (well maybe one).

18643: io9 reviews leaked Dollhouse script.

We covered the leaked script the other day. Also this entry did fall foul of our "don't link to illegal downloads of copyrighted material" rule.

18637: Chords and Vocals for "Ten Dollar Solo" from Commentary! The Musical!

There's been at least two links posted to this site before. I think people are now well aware of its existence.

18632: Dekker dishes on Sarah Connor Chronicles mid-season premiere

We would only have interviews with actors who have appeared in Joss' shows.

Click here for a guide to what is usually acceptable for coverage of non-Joss shows at Whedonesque.

18627: New Dollhouse Promo Poster on fanpop.com.

Already posted. It's not even below the fold yet.

18602: Sci-Fi to Re-air "Serenity"

No link and news about a repeat of a movie is not quite front page news.

18594: Joss Whedon Needs an Army?

Not really front page material.

18596: Please delete

Always helpful when the title of the post is as straightforward as this.  :-)

18584: Tom Zarek likes Firefly!

Too thin for a front page link.

18590: Last Chance to Nominate Dr. Horrible for a People's Choice Award

Really no need for another heads up about this.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/18332

18589: Harmony Bites.

Already posted today.

18586: Ongoing Q&A with Scott Allie at slayalive. There will probably be spoilers.

Usually we wait till the Q&A is over before it gets linked to.

18581: Firefly fans speak out.

We had a entry about this last week. Let's see if the community can grow organically before we post about it again.

18582: Buffy Omnibus 7 to be released June 3rd

Front page is getting a lot of news today so this was added to the entry about Buffy #24 (the URL was the same for both entries).

http://whedonesque.com/?comments=18577

18576: 'Harmony Bites' - a Buffy Season 8 tale by Jane Espenson.

Owing to stuff this was posted by mistake. The original thread can be found at the following URL.

18575: When You Wish Upon A Supervillain

We've had a surfeit of posts recently about Dr. Horrible availability, shipping, popularity, commentary, etc.  This item - which is a list, without any other content, - would be good to post in the comments to one of those threads, or over on .org.

18563: "Joss Whedon’s Much Anticipated Techno-Mystery With Eliza Dushku."

Lovely sentiment that it is, it's far too brief a mention for a front page entry. Especially with all the other "Dollhouse is buzzworthy" entries that posted at Whedonesque in the last few days.

18560: Serenity on UK TV tonight.

News about this was posted a couple of days ago.

http://whedonesque.com/comments/18538

18557: What's the Biggest Mid-Season Hit?

As we get closer to the premiere of Dollhouse, we'll see more and more "samey" items. Case in point, we had a very similar poll posted back on December 21st. So there's nothing really new here for a new front page entry so it was added to the previous entry.

18555: Summer is a question in Cable Girl's quiz of the year

Little bit too tenuous for the front page.

Sunday, January 4, 2009

18548: See Jayne in 3D!!!!

News about a show featuring a Whedon alum that doesn't actually mention the alum is not front-page worthy.  Also - too many exclamation points.

18547: Alyson Hannigan and NPH on the cover of this weeks edition of TV Guide.
