No TV for about five years. Some at my parents house when I visit...small addiction to nip\tuck while I was rebuilding a house with a set on the back porch.

In addtion to people feeling defensive when you say you don't watch tv, i think its also that you've just annihilated the basis for the conversations that people above are talking about. i think we're conditioned to sort of be mock friendly to each other, and i'm not saying that's bad or good. i don't want to always have deep conversations while i'm taking a leak or getting coffee. but people feel they should speak, and yet without a common program you can't have as much harmless conversation. i think you sometimes might be perceiving the shock of people thinking "crap - now what the fuck do i talk about?"

edit: I fucking love Family Guy.
