Boy Genius: Television is the shorthand of life.
Me: I can't wait to hear this...
Boy Genius: It's true. Every situation has a corresponding episode of television that solves the problem.
Me: Elaborate please.
Boy Genius: That time your sister caught you in the bathroom, uh...relieving the tension of the day?
Me: I still have nightmares about it. If only she hadn't kept screaming.
Boy Genius: Father Knows Best. 2nd season. Episode 12.
Me: I am not 'Kitten.'
Boy Genius: And the time you took your Dad's car for a drive? Happy Days - "Ralph runs over Fonzie's bike."
[beat]
Me: Damn.
Boy Genius: Exactly. You know TV, you know the secrets of the universe.
Me: Okay, so what grand bit of video gets us out of this mess?
Boy Genius: The very special episode of Blossom?

Re: "In the crapper"
That would be, "That 70's Show."
Seinfeld. The most realistic show ever on television.
My son would vote for South Park. For every situation in life (and I mean EVERY), he can cite a corresponding South Park episode.
I want to know where you use "The Greatest American Hero" a definite guilty pleasure for myself.
First there was pop psychology, now TV psychology.
If you jump the shark, does that mean you have crossed over into madness?
