Second Time Around

I can't sleep. Here is another intersting observation:


I used to believe that two rules were true when watching TV and movies.

1) While turning on the TV and flipping to a show that you hardly watch, the first and second times you ever see the show, you see the same episode.

-- I don't know why this is true but it happens a lot! I think I always see the same six episodes of "Friends," for example.

2) The second time you see a bad movie, it is actually much better.

-- I thought this was because of the "law of lowered expectations" but my brother brought up a great exception to this rule: Batman & Robin
