[ WP ] You want to rewatch your favorite TV show , but find that it does n't exist . Nobody has ever heard of it .

Fairly new to this, here's my attempt! 
 
 It was a very lazy Sunday. Both Bill and Charlie had planned an exciting day of hiking with their friend Dean but that was immediately discarded when they awoke to a grey sky and rain. Lots of it. 
 
 “ How much longer do you think it ’ s going to keep up? ”, said Bill. “ There was supposed to be a very small chance of rain ” 
 
 “ See this is why I never bother to look up the weather. I don ’ t trust it. ” snarled Charlie, irritated. “ Might as well stay in and see what ’ s on TV. Doesn ’ t seem like it ’ s going to let up any time soon ”. 
 
 The two sat down on an old broken in leather couch opposite of their TV. They weren ’ t really going to see what ’ s on TV. Nobody really did that anymore. Bill fired up Netflix and they began browsing an endless list of of shows and movies. Each time one of them pointed out something that looked interesting, the other came up reasons to not watch it. This continued for a half hour. 
 
 “ I ’ m not in the mood for that, let ’ s keep searching ”, sighed Charlie, staring at his phone. 
 
 “ I ’ m pretty sure we ’ ve searched the whole list. Come on, lets just watch this. It ’ s just come out today and I ’ ve heard great things about it ”, replied Bill, eagerly. 
 
 Charlie shrugged and put down his phone. 
 
 They started watching and as the show progressed they each laid back and settled in their preferred watching position. And just as Bill was about to doze off, Charlie sat up and stared intently at the television. 
 
 “ What is it? ” uttered Bill, yawning. 
 
 “ The bastards! They ripped this off of a show I used to follow. ” said Charlie angrily. “ I mean that show wasn ’ t very good but that doesn ’ t mean they should just steal their content. ” 
 
 “ What show? ” asked Bill, in a tone that hinted that he wasn ’ t really interested. 
 
 “ I… I can ’ t remember. ” 
 
 “ Are you sure? This just came out today… ” 
 
 “ I ’ m sure of it! They are copying the scenes down to a tee. Look see how the detective is running? Right now as he turns into the corner he's going to turn distracted and fall trip on the corpse of the man he was tailing. ” 
 
 “ Alright ”. Bill sat up and decided to humor Charlie. He concentrated on the television. 
 
 THUD. SLAP. The detective on the television tripped and fell just as Charlie had predicted. 
 
 “ See! I told you! Down. To. A. TEE! ” 
 
 “ Get off it. You probably started watching this and forgot. ” 
 
 “ I didn ’ t! I saw 5 episodes of this before dropping it. ARGG If I could just remember the name of it. ” 
 
 “ I tell you what, if, for the next 5 episodes you are able to tell me the gist of the episode before we watch it, I ’ ll believe you. ” 
 
 “ Fine ” 
 
 But Charlie was right. Before each episode started, he told Bill all about the adventures of the seemingly clumsy detective and how he always managed to solve the case by accident. For this last one, he happened to stumbled on the disguised villain, causing them to trip and the stolen goods to fall out of his pocket. 
 
 “ This is… getting old ”, replied Bill. 
 
 “ That ’ s why I dropped it. But I ’ ve been right so far! ” 
 
 “ I guess believe you. But why would someone remake such a bad show ” 
 
 “ Beats me… Darn it, I can ’ t find it! ” 
 
 Charlie had been googling around desperately trying to find the name of the show as Bill watched the episodes. Darn. 
 
 “ Let ’ s see what else is on ” said Bill. 
 
 He pressed back on the remote, and for the first time, Charlie saw the name of the show. 
 
 “ Hang on… That ’ s it! ” 
 
 “ What ’ s it ” 
 
 “ That! That ’ s the name of the show I used to watch ” 
 
 “ I think you ’ re losing it, this show just came out today. And everyone was raving at it ’ s supposed originality. ” 
 Charlie pulled out his phone and googled the name of the show. The only one that came up was the one they had just watched. 
 
 “ Weird ” 
 
 “ When did you watch it? ” 
 
 “ It was a long time ago… I can ’ t remember… ” 
 
 “ Try harder ” 
 
 “ It doesn ’ t work like that. But, now that I think about, the day I started watching it was just like this. It was raining and because it ruined the plans I had with Dean, I stayed in to watch it. Just when I finished the fifth episode, Dean knocked on the door asking if we wanted go to the movies. ” 
 
 The doorbell rang. 
 
 They went to the door and it was Dean. Charlie froze. He had seen this before, lived this before. 
 
 “ Hey you two - “ 
 
 Then in unison both Charlie and Dean posed the same question “ Do you want to go to the movies and watch the new…? ” 
 
 Bills eyes widened. Dean looked flabbergasted. And Charlie looked as if something had finally clicked in his mind. The three headed inside where both Charlie and Bill explained the situation to Dean who stared at them in disbelief, but nonetheless he had witnessed Charlie retort his own question right back at him at precisely the same time as he was asking it. Feeling creeped out the three stayed inside instead and continued to contemplate the peculiar situation. As if afraid of other strange happenings the three decided to play it safe and stay in doors for the remainder of the day.
