I only ever watch 2 TV shows religiously: Alton Brown's Good Eats and House.
That doesn't mean it's not ON, though--we usually have the TV on for a bit of noise while we're both on our computers. But rarely does the TV hold my attention, and honestly, I wouldn't miss it if it were gone. I went without TV in the dorms for four years (my choice).
I think peoples' reactions are relative--here if you said you didn't watch TV, no one would look at you sideways. It's quite normal in my town at least, mostly because cable is expensive and not every apartment comes with extended basic. Furthermore, a lot of us are just plain ol' too busy to watch TV or waste our time with it. If people think you're odd for not watching television, that's their problem. Think of all the money you're saving by not paying for cable.
Honestly, I'd rather play World of Warcraft than watch TV. At least that takes some level of engagement.
