The newsgroup net.tv already exists for discussion of television shows.
I recommend that before trying to create a new group, that you follow
the procedure laid out in net.announce.newusers:  submit articles about
letterman to net.tv and if the volume of postings increases to the point
that it begins to annoy everyone in the group, and this remains true for
several months, then you can begin the official proposal and voting.

If you don't want to annoy Europe and Australia with Lettermania, then
kindly set the Distribution: line in your header to
Distribution: na
when submitting your letterman articles.

Also, be advised that if you get a small but vocal "hardcore" group that
you might want to set up a letterman "viewer-mailing-list" to service
their needs.
