Have you ever tried to explain your favorite TV show?

Have you ever tried to explain your favorite TV show to a person who has never seen your favorite TV show?

Ok so it’s called Fringe and it’s about this guy, you know Pacey from Dawson’s Creek? Him. And his father and the FBI, well, they are not really the FBI, they are like a special division that investigates strange events in the world … Yes, a little like the X-Files … a little … but the boy and his father are not in the FBI. They just help. Oh, and there is also a girl and a whole love story. And the father is a scientist and he opened a portal to an alternate universe and stole a child and then the world will end and then these bald people from the future invade and they all get drunk and … Oh no sorry, ambarcan is like , is … have you ever seen Jurassic Park?

This happens to me all the time with my boyfriend, since I watch a lot of TV shows that he doesn’t watch. Mainly crime dramas. Many criminal dramas.

To his credit, he’s started watching some of them with me, Sini-SI: New York (with the lovely Gary Sinise), The Finder, and Hawaii 5-O. He was also watching Bones with me, but he gave up after a few episodes.

It got us thinking about the ridiculousness of most crime dramas and how explaining the basic premise of many of them to people who have never seen the show can be … well, complicated.
