Here's a thought to ponder from the email world. Consider that any TV
show, from a user's perspective falls into one of two categories: "Want
to watch" and "Don't want to watch". Now, this idea may very well suck,
but take a cue from email: Good email and spam. A very hot topic there
is Bayesian filters, and they seem to work reasonably well. Maybe
there's a way to do something similar for tv shows?

It may work, it may not, it may be the worst idea you've ever heard, but
I thought I'd pass it along.
