Studio Sixty is like the girlfriend you've had (well, okay, for the majority of you, boyfriend) who seems so incredible at first that you just want to be near them, without cherishing any hopes of them ever knowing your name. Then you somehow miraculously manage to catch their eye, and for a few blissful months you are deliriously* happy together. But slowly you start to realise that while they are still fantastic they are also completely mad and used to belong to a cult and they eat strange things and may have done prison time, they're a little vague about that, or may just have spent the year living in a teepee**.
So you do the smart thing and break up with them or at least wait until they go on permanent hiatus, but then one night you get a drunken booty call informing you that they're BACK from hiatus and/or living in a teepee, and let's go for drinks, and before you know it you're shipping Simon/Tom all over again even though you know you'll regret watching it in the morning, especially the bit where the host has to do her monologue with no cue cards.
Which I skipped. But I can't stop watching.
I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU, STUDIO SIXTY.
* I typo'd this as deliciously. Am I the only on who thinks it's suspicious that they're only one letter different from each other?
** I knew a guy who did this. I asked him why. He said, "Because I got tired of paying an electricity bill."
