I watched almost no TV as a kid and way too much now. I blame the interwebs for giving me people to talk about TV with.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

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.

I imagine he could get into some of the tv tie-in toys without getting into the actual shows, if you'd rather go that route.
I almost wish he did want some tie-in stuff. He is so impossible to get toys for, he just doesn't play with them. It makes gifts tricky, especially for Grandparents and other relatives.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You heard that's out on DVD? Or coming out soon, I forget which.
Did it suck? It probably sucked, didn't it? I have to Netflix it. Oh, and get a working DVD player. There's only so much I can watch on my computer. Someone please help me in 'Tech. I can't make the decision on my own.

I watched all of the tv I wanted, whenever I wanted. My teenaged years I memorized TV Guide cover to cover and had the listings grid memorized for every night (even for shows I didn't watch). I was obsessed with the fall preview issue. (I was the same way about movies, actually). I don't know that it did anything for me socially, in school, although everyone always counted on me to give facts about tv and movies.
Javachik is me! My family called me a walking TV Guide...even though we didn't actually get TV guide.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I posted this link in music, but can someone tell me where the top picture in this blog post is from?

We never got TVGuide as a kid, but the Washington Post used to include a TV listings magazine-style insert in the Sunday sections. (Maybe it still does - I haven't lived in DC since high school.)

Oh cool! I've been meaning to see that. Is it out on DVD yet?

Yes, according to DH. Apparently we own it. (I have no idea what media comes into my home. I just see the shelves continue to sag under the weight of boxed sets.)
