Dexter Episode Viewing Remorse (DEVR)

A baffling medical condition caused by overexposure to the Emmy nominated hit show starring Michael C. Hall.

This debilitating disorder affects people of all age, race, gender and sexual orientation and is most common in those who neglected to watch episodes when they actually aired on Showtime. Most victims instead chose to watch all 42 episodes at once in a short window of time on a Mac or a PC. Initial symptoms include nausea and vomiting, but can lead to more serious conditions such as Dexter Episode Viewing Remorse. Call your doctor right away if DEVR or any attributed symptoms persist beyond 24 hours.

"Ok, well it looks like I'll get started on this Dexter phenomenon everyone is talking about"...

(Two Days Later)

"Ok, well season one and two were wonderful and now I'm ready for season three"...

(24 Hours Later)

"Ok, well now I'm officially caught up with the show"..
"I guess I'll just have to wait for each new episode to air on television each week"...

maximum viewing tolerance

A hypothetical (uncertain) threshold (the point that must be exceeded to begin producing a given effect or result or to elicit a response) at which white trash will feel offended by the moronic TV programming, directing their attention to other aspects of their equally miserable lives.

Hey Pete... why your father stays for hours and hours watching crappy TV?
He is becoming an experiment that will disprove maximum viewing tolerance theory.

passive viewing

Passive viewing, watching TV programme or parts thereof, not of your choice to which you've been "exposed."

It is passive viewing if you are watching a television programme you don't particularly want to see, either because you've caught a part of it while changing channels, or by selecting the wrong channel.
Suffering a programme because you are in the company of someone who wants to watch it is passive viewing.

Convulsive Viewing

Unlike compulsive viewing, this is a TV program or series that causes convulsions of the stomach, or full body. This could be a food program that has gone horrendously wrong, or any form of epilepsy-inducing imagery.

Mr A: "Did you catch that Japanese flashing robot cartoon cookery show last night?"
Dr B: "Yes, but sadly it gave me seizures and the food made me vomit... That's what I call convulsive viewing."
