Sleep Watching 

A condition of falling asleep while watching TV. Most often seen when a boring show has just ended. It is most often found in Ben Hatley but also is seen in his wife, Olivia. They don't watch TV together much because of this. It is intensely hard to treat.
Ben: Hey Liv, I think 'Bodies in Motion' is on the TV. Want to watch it?

Liv: Sure, but we'll probably end up sleep watching.

Gilad: No you won't!! If you're gonna watch me you better do it?

Myrtle: Stupid Rascal, making me stiff like that. Maybe this will help.

Ralph: Count me in too, I need a workout.

Necky: You know, this is cool. I used to watch this when it was on before. Great workout.

Gil: (laughing at Necky) Did you like it?

Necky: Yes, I did. Used to do it when I was in the Marines. (gives a salute and screams 'Hoorah!')

(Ben and Liv start stretching on each other. Gil is laughing at Ben and Liv.)

Beatrice: Ten hut!!! One, two, three, four, you'd better work yourself some more!

Ben: (yawn) I knew we'd end up sleep watching. This is tough!

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!
