Spylighting 

(Verb) The act of flipping through different sports channels looking for big highlights, usually done out of boredom or because you just don't really care about any of the games. Spylighting can be very successful, however, it can backfire.
"Dude! I was spylighting last night and I saw Ed Reed get a pick six on Fox, then I turned to ESPN and saw a walk-off homer by Big Papi! It was awesome."

"Laurie broke up with me when she found out I was secretly spylighting while we 'talked about our relationship' on the phone."

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!
