For me, the worst thing was that evening chores interfered with my watching Battlestar Galactica. So there were a bunch of episodes that I only saw part of.
Stupid calves and cows, always needing to be fed and bedded....
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Mostly, I think he just doesn't know other stuff exists. For them, shows just show up on a list, they don't really have the concept of watching a channel.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You should have put a TV in the barn so they'd be hooked on the show too.

Doesn't this just mean he'll grow up to be a Buffista?
If he's not interested that's fine, but I feel like we really haven't given him the option to check out more things.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
certain nights were No TV Nights
We weren't allowed to watch TV on school nights, though I believe that was relaxed for Cosby Show and Different World. I remember being left out of the many conversations involving Growing Pains, but yeah... not a big deal.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I watched every TV show known to man (except we did not watch Dukes of Hazzard for some reason), and I still had nothing to talk about with people! But I can understand why you are thinking of relaxing your rules a bit.

Gud, I'd say give him more options. But I'm a firm believer in the social importance of sharing or at least being able to fake sharing various cultural touchstones with your peer group.
Not that this helps if, say, your kid just doesn't like TV, like mine.

Ya freak!
OK, I can't explain whey I liked that show. Maybe it was the cars. (I liked Boss Hog's Eldorado convertible especially. But that car never got to do any cool jumps.)

I watched a lot of boxing.
Boxing, hockey, All in the Family, MASH, Barney Miller, Macgyver, Magnum PI, Star Trek re-runs...
(I mean, I also watched your standard assortment of Saturday Morning TeeVee, but except for Electro-Woman and Dyna Girl, they all blur.)
