Happy spring, my friends! This is getting going a little late this year as May was extremely busy and also I feel like we just wrapped last year's Cutties. The years are starting to fly.
I'll have this thread up for two weeks and then ballot voting will be between June 15-30th.
But we have a great batch of shows to consider! I was surprised when putting this together how many great new shows started in the last year. I have put together the list as best I can tell from memory but many hands make light work; let me know if you see a mistake.
Please consider and offer suggestions to add to the list. (This should not be a list of every show you watched this year; only ones where you would consider them for a category.)
In order to be considered, the season must have premiered between May 2, 2015 and May 1, 2016. For individual episode categories, the episode itself (not the season) must be in that premiere window.
This is also a good thread for suggestions on tweaks to categories, formats, etc. I feel like our long form / short form system worked well last year so I am planning on keeping it.
A reminder of the categories:
