- You are talking to the Amazing Child Who Had No Life. I watched them all.
- And I do mean ALL. Pre-cable, no less. I have become so in tune with the
- TV mentality that I can watch a show I have never seen before, figure out
- who all the characters are, learn their basic quirks, analyze the
- situation, and determine the outcome of the plot less than 10 minutes into
- the show. In some cases, I can even predict actual dialogue. It is a
- symbiotic relationship I have with the Great Box.
