I've been studying our lists of TV and movies and have been considering some new additions to our genre categories but I wanted to get your opinions first.

First, Legal Drama and Legal Drama TV doesn't seem to fit too well. We already have a Drama category and in some cases (no pun intended), certain Legal Drama films or tv series isn't that dramatic. For example; My Cousin Vinny, Night Court and Bad Judge don't really have much drama in them and are more played for laughs. We can and already have put in "Drama" for those shows and movies if they merit it. I think maybe we should simply relabel them as simply "Legal" for having the overall theme of involving lawyers, courtrooms, and judges and simply select the "Drama" if the movie or tv show warrants it.

Martial Arts for the films and TV series are another category that we've been lacking. I think we should restrict it if they play a central role in the film or tv show, not just if one character is a martial artist; unless it's like the MAIN character or something.

Holiday is another theme I've been thinking about adding for various tv shows and movies. With this category we can include a wide variety of holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Valentine's Day.

Educational TV is another one that I've been meaning to add. I figure Seasme Street and those How-To shows fall into this category.

I've also been considering adding Anthology TV and Comedy Sketch TV as well. Anthologies are those shows like the Wonderful World of Color, Twilight Zone, or American Horror Story which have individual and unconnected stories from week to week.

Comedy Sketch TV which I think would be a subcategory on the Comedy TV Page are shows which are simply a collection of short comedic scenes like You Can't Do That On Television or Monty Python.

Those are my ideas so far. What do you guys think?
