Showbiz Pizza was a restaurant chain in the early 80s to late 90s. The pizza parlors were known for their animatronic rock band, the Rock Afire Explosion. While on the verge of bankruptcy they bought the Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theatre and in a process known as Concept Unification they converted every Showbiz Pizza to Chuck E Cheese’s.

Surf Dracula Syndrome

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
