Muenster or Pepper jack?

Apparently, I have an observational deficiency. This only just now occurs to me, which is, perhaps, further proof of its existence. Normally, I pride myself on my abilities of observation and situational awareness. I am often aware of the placement of people, cars, objects around me, when others seem oblivious. At first, I assumed this was only because positive confirmation was the only type of confirmation one is likely to notice is positive confirmation (i.e., you don't notice when you don't notice something). But eventually, I came to believe that perhaps I was more extraordinarily gifted in this regard, as evidenced by (verbing weirds) the surprised reactions of others around me to things I noticed a while ago, and the fact that the opposite rarely occurred, for instance, me being surprised by something which the person standing next to me confirms he noticed a while previously.

Anywho, more on my deficiency. Apparently, despite how bleeding obvious it might be, I have a very hard time telling if a TV show is cheesy. The first sign of this deficiency was that I did not notice that the 60's Batman TV show with Adam West was written tongue-in-cheek, until after I had watched at least a full season's worth. It was not until they brought in the "Bat-Three-Dimension-Restorer", which Batman had apparently built, you know, just in case a villain happened to turn him into a two-dimensional cardboard cut out, that I finally said "Oh, come on!"

Anyways, I just realized the most recent occurrence of this "Cheese Blindness" a couple days ago while watching an episode from the third season of Stargate SG-1. That's right, it took me three seasons of SG-1 to figure out that it was, in fact, cheesy. (NB: This is not to say it's bad or unenjoyable.) But now that the veil has been lifted, it suddenly occurs to me that the website TV Tropes was probably started about SG-1. (There are actually two tropes named after characters from SG-1, the Colonel Makepeace and the Jonas Quinn).

The exact moment when I began to realize the show's cheesiness was when I, without thinking, finished one of Major Carter's lines for her. She was puzzling over the problem of trying to create a Naquadah reactor. She had built it but it did not work. While looking over the problem, she began to theorize that, just maybe, if she reversed the—
Me: "Polarity"
Sam Carter: "—polarity, it just might work!"
Of course it does.

My suspicions of cheesiness only grew when I realized that as soon as a character in that particular episode appeared on screen, I had immediately labeled him as the antagonist with a Dark Secret. As it turns out, he was harvesting children's brains (well, not really, but in effect). Then in the episode immediately following, SG-1 travels to a parallel universe, where Teal'c meets his Evil Twin, who, of course, has a goatee, as do all evil twins. (Which makes me think; If ever I was transported to a parallel universe and met a clean-shaven version of myself, does that mean I would be the evil one?)

It should also be pointed out that the show's writers themselves also seem to be painfully aware of the show's cheesiness, as they, quite humorously, parodied themselves in both their 100th and 200th episodes.
Wormhole X-Treme writer: "Ok, we've established that one shot stuns the target, and two shots kills. What does three shots do?"
Colonel O'Neill: "Vaporizes it?"
TV Producer: "That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard of."
(For those of you not In The Know, Wormhole X-Treme was a TV show within a TV show, where a character who had knowledge of the Stargate program, but has forgotten it, begins to remember, but thinks he's just coming up with original ideas, which he puts together into a TV show. In the above quote, the writers of Wormhole X-Treme, based on Stargate SG-1, are debating what the Zat guns do. Jack suggests what they actually do in the Stargate Universe, and the idea is tossed out as rubbish.)

But anyways, on with my point. Reversing the Polarity. That is my new fix-all suggestion. Whenever someone asks me how to fix something, I'm just going to say, "have you tried reversing the polarity?"
Ex.
"When I start your software, I receive the error message 'Vendor Daemon Down'."
"Please reverse the Vendor Daemon's polarity at the command prompt. You can open the command prompt by selecting Start -> Run, and typing in 'cmd' and pressing enter. At the prompt, navigate to the License directory by typing 'cd \<installation directory>\RAMS\License', except replace <installation directory> with the directory you chose when you installed the software (default is C:\Program Files). Next, run the vendor daemon, using the -rp switch to reverse its polarity, e.g., type in 'lmgrd -rp'. Please let me know if you have any questions on these instructions."

"I'm have computer trouble. When I turn it on, it POSTs, but won't boot into the OS."
"Have you tried reversing the polarity?"

"My car won't start."
"Have you tried reversing the polarity?"

"I think my boyfriend is cheating on me. Also, he stays out late, comes home drunk, then beats me."
"Have you tried reversing his polarity?"

Of course it will work. It always does on TV.
