It's one of the hardest temptations to avoid sometimes. And...usually I offer to put up a block on the tvs but hah, wouldn't work so well when you could remove it yourself, does it?
I'm sorry for whatever crap that show ends up putting you through. Because it will, if you keep watching, it'll be hell because to the world at large, none of us are even real, so cliffhangers and plot twists galore. But you also luckily have people that get it. So, we can commiserate? Or offer weekly distractions. However you wanna deal.
