Claim:
1. A method comprising: monitoring, by at least one computing device, an interaction of a user with a media content access subsystem to determine whether the user is actively or passively interacting with the media content access subsystem, the monitoring comprising detecting a first time period during which the user is actively interacting with the media content access subsystem by detecting one or more input commands transmitted to the media content access subsystem by a remote control user input device being utilized by the user to control the media content access subsystem, and detecting a second time period during which the user is passively interacting with the media content access subsystem by detecting an absence of input commands being transmitted to the media content access subsystem by the remote control user input device during a specified time period; maintaining, by the at least one computing device, an interaction profile associated with the user based on the monitored interaction; detecting, by the at least one computing device, a selection by the user of a mood included in a plurality of moods provided for display to the user in a graphical user interface; updating, by the at least one computing device in response to the detected selection by the user of the mood, the interaction profile associated with the user; and controlling, by the at least one computing device, a presentation of a plurality of television media content instances to the user during the first and second time periods by the media content access subsystem in accordance with the interaction profile by
