Where's Daddy? I haven't seen him since Thanksgiving dinner.

He inhaled two full plates of roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn and yams smothered in gravy then sat down by the fireplace to watch the Packers-Lions. The poor bastard fought like hell, but could only make it to the 2nd quarter before succumbing to a full-blown turkey coma.

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!
