Okay, I think I'm a really obnoxious TV watcher. I love to be caplocky and exclamation pointy, but for the most part, it's just out of my uncontrollable excitement rather than to get people to really watch? But I'd be lying if I said I didn't try to get people to watch things! Sometimes I do get obnoxiously "OH MY GOD IF YOU DON'T WATCH THIS YOU'RE MISSING OUT IN LIFE" but it's only about select shows (I think I do that with the X-Files sometimes? I tell myself it's okay though because it's not empty flailing! It usually has some substance to back it up on my part. USUALLY.) I know people have an irrational (or rational?) hate of people who do that, but I...Don't really care about that stuff? It's like, if I'm gonna watch it, I'm gonna watch it. Which I guess gets back to most of my flails being for me and other people who watch rather than to get new people to start.
What weirdly bothers me more is something that becomes like the hot new thing. If I feel like everyone on my flist just started watching something, I like to be a rebel and refuse to watch it. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME, I DON'T KNOW. It's kind of like, so many people love that show, it doesn't need my love on top of it! But usually when I think like that, I'm missing out. (I DID THAT WITH FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS.)
ANYHOW! Pretty much anything get me to watch a show, but it really depends on my mood. I'm open to most things (LULZ, EXCEPT NEVER SUPERNATURAL, sorry dudes) but most of the time, I don't get around to watching things because I'm either too busy or just plain lazy. Or I just get way too comfortable in my little TV niche. See: The West Wing. Which I know I'll love and have been meaning to watch for ages, but still haven't!
MEH. WHATEVA!
PS: I think my answers actually explain why people never start watching things I suggest to them or ask them to! D: D: THIS MAKES ME SAD.
