I've always found it interesting how people can get so sucked into a TV show that they cannot stop themselves from watching it. That hasn't happened to me since Star Trek TNG and Deep Space 9 were on. And I even sat through commercials for those shows.

My current lack of TV show addiction kinda leaves me without much to say to other people trying to make small talk.

"So, did you see Survivor last night?"
"Uh, nope."
"How about LOST?"
"Nope."
"Desperate Housewives?"
"Nuh-uh."
"I thought you had a TV!"

-- you get the picture.
