I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I have an amazingly hard time watching TV shows. Not because they're poorly written or acted or anything like that. It's just that when there are emotionally uncomfortable scenes I have a really hard time dealing with it. If I'm watching at home by myself I'm pausing the show every couple minutes for me to relax and decompress for a minute. With friends, or my wife, I'm staring at my shoes or just 'away' during the uncomfortable parts. Awkward shows like sitcoms are almost unwatchable for me. I can get through a drama with a bit of effort. Action shows are usually pretty easy. Mostly.
For example: A while back when I watched Dr. Horrible's sing along blog, a show that's maybe 45 minutes all together, it took me around 2 hours to watch it. It was awesome, but all the pausing and uncomfortableness sucked. Now I can go back and re-watch it at regular speed without much of a problem.
It makes watching most TV shows kind of sucky.
