Life Cycle of a TV Fan
“Have you heard about this new show, SHOW X? It looks terrible. Look at that stupid poster! Why is that guy wearing a hat? There’s no way this show is good!”
“Okay, the first episode wasn’t bad — the guy with the hat was actually pretty funny. But I still can’t believe they canceled SHOW W for this. SHOW W was so much better.”
“Are you watching SHOW X? I know it’s stupid but I can’t stop watching it.”
“SHOW X is the best show on television and I have always thought so. ‘GOOBER-NOOBER!!!!’”
“If you don’t like SHOW X, you’re probably just not smart enough to get it. Why don’t you stick to SHOW J? You seem like the kind of person who would love SHOW J.”
“Maybe this season has taken a dip, but bad SHOW X is still better than 90 percent of what else is on. #goobernoober”
“This show is unwatchable now. I can’t believe I’m still watching it.”
“Ugh, SHOW X, is that still on? They should have ended it three seasons ago, after CHARACTER X had the baby and that other guy stopped wearing that hat. I can’t believe I’m still watching it.”
“SHOW X will never be as good as classic SHOW X, but it’s not bad if you just think of it as like its own thing. It’s like New SHOW X.”
“New SHOW X is unwatchable now. Who writes this crap?”
“Have you heard about this new show, SHOW Y? They got rid of SHOW X for this?!?!”
