A new word.

Dollhouse (v): To make excuses for the failings of a serial entertainment in the hope that those failings are going to be undercut any moment now, because they're just too stupid to continue as presented.

Usage example:

"I thought the last episode of Glee was kind of bad, but I'm Dollhousing it for at least a couple more episodes."

"I totally Dollhoused Twilight all the way to the end, because isn't it really obvious that Edward's not such a great boyfriend?"
