What’s Your TV Watcher Style?

I can’t speak for you, but I react to Horror films/television much the way a heroine from an Asian Horror film does – and that’s to cover my mouth with my hands to keep quiet just in case the ghost might here me. Hey, I’ve seen Ringu, and so have you. They climb right out of the TV set and get you! Heck, I’ve been known to watch through my fingers to keep myself safe from various Obakemono – no reason I should let the Kappa see me watching him, right? And yes, there are appropriately-timed mouse squeak screams. Thank the Gods my sister Laota and I are so close in these cases, because I think she’s the only person who’d put up with it!

I also have a tendency to go, “Look at this part!”, “Make sure to watch this!”, “This is the best part!”

Laota will tell you, flat out, anything that’s about to happen because she’s The Human Spoiler (it’s an accident, really!), so if you’re watching something for the first time it’s best to do so in secret, lol.

Jon – one of my best friends and my ex – will take whatever’s going on at the time on screen and turn it into a little improv song about how he loves or hates the show you’re watching. He used to love to do that with Surge commercials.

My mom will try and dissect everything on screen from a producer’s angle, which annoys me to no end because Laota‘s a writer (yes, a real live writer!) and I’m a crappy novelist, so the producer’s viewpoint (Sounds great, but can we make the dog talk? Like, maybe he’s hip and understands the youth of today? Can he call them, “Dawg“?) just ruins whatever you’re watching.

I don’t have much time to watch television (see previous post!), but when I do it tends to be at work during my break on my laptop, because DVDs are my friends. That’s because I’d never heard of the truTV effect before.

truTV used to be Court TV, and to be honest that name kind of turned me off to the whole thing because I’ve never been a big fan of courtroom television, but truTV is no longer just coverage of trials and real life courtroom drama. It has something for everyone – well, something for me at least!

truTV has a show that I’m just now learning about called Man vs. Cartoon, which is right up my alley! And I’m the type of person who will YELL at the screen if I’m alone (or with Laota), and my proof is that we’re watching The Last Unicorn and I’ve only yelled at the Unicorn about 6 times, lol.

Unfortunately truTV’s not for everyone, and the reason I say this is because if you’re easily affected by fiction then the fact that truTV covers real stories may mean that you have to watch with caution. It’s a blast if you can handle that kind of thing, but be warned that the stories are real! Want to get a taste of truTV right now? Check out the truTV video archive!
