joan of arcadia 

A great show on CBS starring the highly talented Amber Tamblyn. It follows the life of average teenager Joan and her family. Joan gets visited by God occasionally, and he gives her an obscure task to do.

These tasks usually lead Joan into uplifting adventures, wacky encounters, or other emotional moments.

Her friends, Grace and Adam, two social outcasts in school, have no idea that Joan talks to God. Joan tried to tell Adam once, but due to her trip to the hospital, he thought she was only imagining it.

Joan learns that no matter how obscure a job for her is, it always touches and effects the people around her.

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!
