TV series and TV program subject(s)

I was adding to Human Extinction as subject for films and some literature/poems
I would like to add the few tv programs that deal with such a cheerful subject matter like Life After People.
(Or maybe we should just have a media commons type for subject matter of a show or series in TV as well as for songs/compositions. Or just add subject to all the arts that are missing subjects)
-
Oh, yes, this should be posted as a suggestion in Media Commons as well.

Yeah, Jeff and I were talking about this just the other day. There is a proliferation of "X subject" types out there: book subject, film subject, video game subject, visual art subject, etc. I don't know whether we can combine them all or whether we want to or what, but it seems worth thinking about.
-
I definitly vote for merging all media into a generic media commons property, or at least merge the types for Art Subject, Film Subject, Written Work Subject into a single Media Subject type and still keep the properties for Film Subject, Art Subject, Book Subject for the Film, Artwork and Written Work types.
-
Merging all the "subject" types into one giant "subject" type, with properties for each expected type would probably work. (If we kept all the old keys around, the change might even be transparent to API users.) One caveat is that non-commons types expecting a subject would still need Foo Subject types if they wanted the properties to be reciprocated; these types would then have to be merged with Media Subject, rather than simply moved to a new domain, if they were promoted.

Did we ever really resolve this?
-
It's still just a thought, a good one I think.
-
I'd like to get some more opinions on this, since there are several type structures with a similar pattern (genres being the main one), so I'm going to ask the data-modelers' list.

I noticed that "Subjects" and "Subject of" properties were added directly to Topic.
