What shows did he bail on, and did he actually make it through episode 4 of each one, or did he quit somewhere in the middle and just say it was the 4th? I ask because the number people remember is usually wrong (my buddy swore Breaking Bad got him at episode 4, but it was really the bathtub scene in episode 2). Also, was he watching alone or with you? Half the time a show clicks because of who you're watching it with, not the episode number.

Was she hoping the computer would just get tired and give up? I get why you froze though, it is hard not to just grab the keyboard when you can see the fix from across the room. But making her read it out loud was the right call, because the kid who finds their own bug learns something and the kid who watches you fix it learns nothing. Mine usually spot it the second they slow down and say the code in plain words, the whole thing falls apart right there. So yeah, let them squirm a little first, just not so long they decide coding is dumb.
