The other thing is, the different natures of the shows aren't an insurmountable difficulty. You're not likely to watch obsessive24's "Climbing Up the Walls" because of the content, but she draws numerous visual and thematic parallels between three pairs of characters from two ensembles and one dyad-focused show. The decision criteria are clear, and some of them are really obvious and some of them are less obvious.
Maybe I should change my LJ name to secondthoughts
