puzzled

This always puzzles me how people can watch a TV series and not really know who the characters are within two episodes. My husband has been watching Angel with me and it just about kills me when he forgot what happened two or three episodes ago, or if he can't remember the characters. Angel isn't the only show. He says he doesn't care about the shows enough to remember the names and I'm like why are you even watching them then!!! lol

Anyway, I know he's not the only one out there that has a hard time remembering the characters but it's kind of sad. I mean even when I was barely interested in SG-1 I knew the difference between Jack O'Neill and Dr. Daniel Jackson. Only had to see one episode to figure out who was important in the show.
