The Post About TV Domino Syndrome

We have all done it.

We have all sat there for at least half and hour watching trashy TV. Not just the TV that is written and produced okay but with bad content.
No.
I am talking about straight up B. A. D, bad television.

Now I have my fair share of weaknesses and one of them is television shows. No matter how bad it is I have to sit there and watch the entire episode.
I have no idea why, it is probably some unfulfilled desire in my soul that lives to find out what boy Kathy will pick, or when Sally will wake up from her coma, or when Anthony will find out that Max is his evil twin, or when Jayton will reveal that he is secretly in love with his best friends girlfriend.
It is something roughly along those lines.

Anyways, you know what I am talking about, all of the really, really, really horrible television shows with names like The Tears of Out Past and Moments of  Our Dreams and Malibu Love.
And you sit there and think how is this show even running?
Where do they get the fans from, it is the single dumbest thing I have ever seen?

However, as you sit there and think about how horrible it is, you are watching it. You are talking about it. You are thinking about it!

Now, because I am a professional and can rightly make these decisions, I have decided this is called the TV domino syndrome.

The TV domino syndrome can work in good ways, but it mostly works in horrible, horrible, life ruining, time wasting, brain-cell-depleting, IQ- lowering ways.
The basic principle of the TV domino syndrome is that once you see a television show the first domino, the initial viewing, has been tapped. Then the second domino falls from the first and you all did that as a child.

With good TV like Doctor Who or Sherlock or Merlin or Sherlock, this is a very good thing, because it introduces you to some of the finest art produced for our televisions.
However, when TV domino syndrome occurs with bad television you have a problem. You get so caught up in how horrible it is you don't realize you have just watched eight episodes in a row and for some reason you find your self looking it up on Netflix and before you know it you might actually care, just a little bit whether or not Sally will wake up from her coma..... again.

So I leave you with this very important information: Never fall prey to the TV domino syndr- OH, who am I kidding!?!?! Even the strongest of human intellects fall prey to some degree of TV domino syndrome.
