Yeah, the shows about "omg he's sleeping with her" and "I think he likes me, but I don't know. Should I sleep wtih him?" and the "But I saw person with another person, and I feel betrayed because clearly they were having sex and not doing anything innocent at all, but I'm not going to talk to them about it, because that would be the sane rational response to things, not I'm going to be sneaky and cause more drama and problems with my lack of communication because that's what love is: stalking and skeevy consent issues." (Err... I just watched a horrible horrible movie, so this is a little bit of an open wound right now ^_~)
I've got a few shows that I watch because they are about things other than who's sleeping with whom. Because as soon as manufactured interpersonal drama (most of which could be resolved with a conversation) starts showing up I'm gone.
It's the one thing that confused me the most in my coming to identify as asexual. I thought everyone was like me, and that television portrayals of relationships was just TV's crazy world, like how everything even remotely flammable explodes. It took me a while to figure out that TV relationships are closer to RL than I thought.
