FanFare tag line

Up top: "TV worth talking about". Seems outdated now that the scope of FanFare has expanded, twice, beyond TV.
Suggestions for a better tagline?
How about "Pop Culture Roundtable Discussion"?
That way, if books /comics are added, we're good.

filthy light thief: Don't take it too seriously, it's just a story.
If nothing else, I think this should be the new comment note. Currently it reads:

Note: Be nice. It's just TV. Spoiler policy.But that's not accurate any more, either.

I don't like the "It's just TV/don't take it too seriously" note frankly - a little on the condescending side. *pat pat* It's just TV, calm down, now...

I feel like if you have to be told to chill out about TV, condescension may be what you've earned.

Almost every time I hear Person A telling Person B to chill out about TV, Person B is making an observation about racism or sexism or homophobia.* So sure, someone's earning condescension, but it's not Person B.
So far, I like The Whelk's suggestion best.
*The rest of the time, they're freaking out over a science/law/medicine/etc. error, so YMMV on whether that's ridiculous or not.

I proposed these as possible replacements for the up-top slogan awhile back via the contact form, given mathowie's note that length is an issue:
media worth discussing
broadcasts & podcasts
episodic discussions
talking about media
media discussions
TV, movie, MP3
(Also "having an episode," which I thought better of almost immediately after hitting "send.")
I also like "pop culture considered," though!

"Pop Culture Filtered" - just to riff a little on The Whelk's suggestion, which is really good.

I think "Pop culture considered" kind of aligns it with "All things considered" in a way that seems undesirable to me.
