Tune in but Tune out

Phrase: When you, someone else, or even a group of people listen to a conversation (most often it's an argument or fight) between others to get all the juicy details, but don't want those who are having the conversation to know that you're listening to them, tell your fellow listeners to do this. Its primary use is to prevent getting yourself or others involved in the confrontation, and allows you to listen for the details.
Guy 1: Hey, the boss and the new guy are having an argument! Sounds like he won't be here much longer!

Guy 2: Tune in but Tune out, man! Get the details but don't get involved!

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!
