What The Hell Am I Watching And Why Won't I Turn It Off...?

He's Not That Into You... what are you, where did you come from and why in the HELL can't I turn you off??

So... Ever caught yourself watching tripe and somehow, beyond sense and reason, found yourself not switching over (or off)?

I saw this the other day too; quite enjoyed it actually...

... I'm currently half-watching some fly-on-the-wall docu drivel about seven (real-life) dwarves sharing a house and not quite able to muster up the effort to change the channel.

You'll have Avalanche games to tide you through as well.

I've been sucked into SYFYs disaster movies marathon more than once.

So what happens when a vampire feeds on a zombie?

Well, a zombie bite can turn a vamp into a zombie (that was the final twist ending on the Spike show),

That was a twist? That was the very first thing I thought of!

It's Spike. Don't expect Deadwood.

As opposed to getting it FROM the TV.

Well to continue this loving thread of apathetic TV viewing:

I found my housemate had a few seasons of The Big Bang Theory lying around and so I plugged a DVD in out of boredom. The first episode was fairly underwhelming, but there was something endearing about the characters so I carried on.

Aaaaand I'm now half way through the 2nd season and yet I can not fully discern why I'm still watching it. On average it raises a few smirks an episode and little more. In fact it took up until the Christmas episode where Sheldon received a bit of Leonard Nimoy's DNA as a present to truly illicit a guffaw.

And yet, I have almost mindlessly watched the preceeding 30 episodes back to back and chuck the show on as soon as I get in the door. I find it a mildly cute show, not especially funny, but with (for once) an entire group of wholly likeable characters (even Sheldon!) and normally I wouldn't give this kind of formulaic Chuck Lorre sitcom a second glance... yet... it sucks me in with its bright colour palate, strange mixture of character voices and wistful goofiness.

I'm not sure I enjoy it, but man, I am devouring those DVD's!
