Sometimes it's not so much as what is said -- rather than how it's said - or how it's perceived to be said... I've come across people who say they don't watch television and the way they say it - it's like they are better than you are because they don't watch tv... They instead -- spend their life on the internet (which kills just as many braincells as tv does - if not more). It's not like the time they don't spend watching television they are out do-gooding..I'm not impressed when someone says they don't watch tv... I would be impressed if they said they spend the time they would have spend watching tv out do-gooding...
Television is good for small talk - I'm quite bad at small talk so it's helpful... though I don't watch the popular shows... When I am home, my television is always on, mostly for background noise and for company... I like being by myself most fo the time, but silence or other people's noise makes me insane... It's a distraction...
If someone doesn't watch television... I really don't care much... but I also don't see the need to advertise it... kinda like i don't see the need to advertise a lot of things people do... but that's me...
