Liveblog, Anyone?

How does everyone feel about liveblogging something together? (Thanks to echinodermata for the suggestion).

We'll need to pin down a date and time, and what we're watching, exactly. Arrested Development is the first nominee. I'll update this post with other proposed series and ideas for times as they come up.

Thanks for any and all of your feedback!

Additional suggestions:
Misfits
Into the Woods
Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
Disney of some sort
Community

As far as a time, a Saturday/Sunday at 11 am PST/PDT is a possibility. That is the usual time for Mark's liveblogs, does it normally work out for you guys?

I assume weekends work better? Mark's usual schedule for liveblogs is 11 am PST/PDT on Saturdays, I think.

But first other people have to be receptive to liveblogging something here before we can talk dates and times.

(Obviously I am in favor.)
I'm perfectly cool with liveblogs. Sounds like fun, me thinks.

Would it just be stuff that's airing currently, or would people be open to streaming/watch something older, where we all just choose a time to start? I think that would make it easier due to time zones and such.

Edit:

Oooh, could I nominate Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-Blog?

I would prefer not liveblogging new stuff, actually. It does make timezones easier, but I like liveblogging stuff I already like.

DHSAB would be fun to do!
I've never actually liveblogged at Mark's; at most, I've gone back and looked at some of the most recent Doctor Who ones because I wanted to get a sense of people's reactions.

That said, this is a smaller blog, so it'd probably be easier (for me) to deal with the liveblog. So I'm game! And of the two suggestions so far, I have them, so yay!

Hey, let's throw in a third suggestion: Into the Woods. Musicals make for great liveblogs, right?

Musicals! Can Disney count as musicals? Cause that could be a lot of fun.
I think liveblogging a Disney movie would be super fun!
I'm fully up for any musicals and Disney stuff!
Oh godddd when the is the new AD season?

We should also do Misfits if Mark definitely isn't going to.

(I approve if that isn't clear.)
I love this idea, and would like to suggest Community. Even if it doesn't pan out, everyone should watch Community, it's one of the best shows on right now. In conclusion, Community.

I'd be up for watching Community. I'm curious about it but haven't seen more than a couple of episodes.
