"SHHHH!!! -- I need to SEE this!"
"Oh! This is important! Can't talk now!"
[Grrrrr....] "You KNOW this is my favorite program!"
And so it goes -- literally 16 hours a day with a hermit who lives and breathes television and has no friends / wants no friends, and vehemently defends their right to SHUSH you anytime you don't observe the unspoken rule to only talk during commercials.
Yet for your 1 show, they will absolutely NOT oblige the same courtesy and they talk LOUDLY and CONSTANTLY during your 1 show of the week, because it is not their favorite -- and your 1 show doesn't count.
Do you know a TV-ZILLA like this? They eat / sleep / breath TV programs, soap operas, so-called "Reality Programs" such they they have lost total touch with the outside world? Their view, they spew forth minute-by-minute with all the people on TV they hate, all those who fall short based on where they grew up, what they look like, their religion, their economic status -- nothing is sacred in their world because they are the MASTER OF THE CLICKER! And this is their home. So they immerse themselves in game shows where they can slam anyone who doesn't look, act, or come from where they came from. And it becomes a BILE-FEST all day, all night, talking trash about who is supposedly hated by ALL....er uh...at least SMART people who think like her...
What do you do with a bitter old dried up 80 year-old woman with no friends whose only sport is to yell at the TV all day and is the walking epitome of hate and unwillingness to understand anything but that which she chooses at any moment to pronounce worthy -- or unworthy. She controls the clicker -- so she controls the Universe.
