How do you inform people that you do not care about a show they are watching?

So of course when I have company over and they decide to watch something I could care less about..(I.E. chick flicks.) They not only get over emotional to silly proportions but they beg for my participation as well by asking me questions like.

"What just happened?"
Or
"Who is that?"
Or
"Where do I know that actor/ actress from?"
Or
"Isn't that just horrible or wonderful?"

My reply ritual?
I break out in song, like in a musical, and sing things like "I'm not watching I don't care."
Or
"Why ask me that if it's your show?"
"Please don't ask me I don't care."

A good Backing Music track selection I select comes from Robotech / Macross.
Any Backtrack to Minmei' songs will do.

After employing this trick since childhood. (I grew up with two sisters.)
I have not seen any ill effects yet.

How do the rest of you respond to such odd requests of participation that has no appeal to you?

Good Luck.
Peace.

Well, if I'm sitting there with them which is usually the case, I slump down in my chair about an inch, go limp from the waste up,put on the glassy eyes, and grumble "uuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh" for about 15 seconds.

After that display, the questions usually dwindle to the bare minimum.

Great question!

How do I inform people I don't about the show there watching? I'd probably would start talking gibberish until they stop talking, I'd probably also start asking lots and lots of questions until they can't answer them all.

Say you have to go to the bathroom. Hopefully they will get the hint after you don't come out for ten minutes.

"Not my type of show, sorry..." then I show a polite smile and change the topic.

I just tell them. I don't care because if they talk about it a whole lot, it does got really annoying so I just tell them that I am sick of it and I am not ever going to watch it.

I'm just honest with them and I tell them that I don't care about the show and that they need to stop pestering me about it.

I do all sorts of things. Ranging from moving to the other side of the room and going onto Vizzed or Team Fortress 2. To Randomly screaming, making puns based on what's going on, or repeating everything said only in question form.

"Sorry, but I don't like the show as much as you do. Don't include me in the conversation."

Then, I just ignore them, walk away, or start playing with Siri on my iPhone.

I just walk away, no questions. OR I sit there and watch it and pretend I like it. Not a lot to say

I just simply say I don't care just change the channel I'm just watching it because the remote is too far away and that is it may sound strange at first but we all say that at least once to who ever wants the remote.

Well if my parents invite me to a show and they give me an insight on what its about and if I'm not interested or I don't like the way it sounds, I just say no thanks maybe another time. Plain and simple but it isn't rude or disrespectful to them. But I'd say a good 85% of the stuff they watch and invite me to watch is cool or funny, so it isn't a waste of time. But sometimes I will politely say no thank you maybe another time. So that is pretty much what I do basically.

I usually just tell them that I cant stand that show, lol! I have a good friend who loves all tv and I really don't watch much and he goes on and on about it. It drives me nuts so usually I will either say the show is horrible or change the subject.
