I wonder if there is a word for this. Anyway, maybe you are overthinking it. And when you get all that negative thoughts in your head, its hard to see any redeeming qualties something has. When I think of smash, it is extremely repeatitive and I have no idea why I end up playing it. But, when I actually play and focus on the positive things, I have a great time.
I guess it comes down what you see more of. Do you see a show that seems to have so many negative qualities, or something that has positive qualities.
*gawddayumft* There was a psych word that represented this...
Or it seems you dislike it because its a popular show only because people are jumping on the hype band wagon.
Also, the morals of each episode, there is always a new generation to teach. Someone has to teach them and repeat the message over and over.
