You mean having a thread where people who want to talk about a show can easily find the shows popular discussion post or someone who wants to find new popular shows to watch is a bad idea?
So stupid its almost like you love all the "what show do I watch omg I donno tell me" threads..
I agree that making a list to help people find shows instead of everyone making threads is a good idea. However, there's no reason for current airing information to be included.
Many of the shows that we would want on the list either have already completed (like The Wire, Breaking Bad) or out of season (Game of Thrones). Even for shows that are currently airing, many people are just using Netflix, Hulu or "downloads" to access the show anyway. If someone wants to go find out what day it airs in their country, they can easily find that on their own. The list shouldn't have a US bias.
What the list needs to be helpful is information about the content of the show. A link to the IMDB or Wiki would be helpful, although probably trivial since the person can get there in 2 seconds by himself. Maybe we could find something meaningful to add, like a brief summary paragraph or a link to a good article about it.
