It doesn't work that way though. If you go to pretty much any general 
TV news website, they have posts about any show. They don't leave shows 
out because there is already other Doctor Who, Star Trek, etc. specific 
websites.  :-)

Some people just aren't interested in subscribing to hundreds separate 
newsgroups when only one main one would do. Other people prefer to 
subscribe to the separate ones.
