Need Television..

It just occured to me, since I don't watch much TV anymore, I'm afraid that I'll lose touch with American pop culture... Not a great loss one might think - but it has struck a chord with me. I came to this conclusion after the great literary journal that is the Onion presented a piece describing the negative side effects of watching less that four hours of television a day. The prose that most succintly sums up my fears is that:

'Because the ridicule of pop culture comprises the bulk of today's social discourse, a non-viewer is at a distinct disadvantage in the workplace, on campus, and in the dating scene'

I certainly don't want to be caught in that situation - I've based a good chunk of my day to day bantor around this. What am I going to talk about... books? Hah..thats ridiculous.

I'm down to watching zero hours of TV a day, I've got to do whatever it takes to get back on track. My biggest fear is not being able to understand whats happening... jokes, situations and the like if I manage to catch my beloved Daily Show or Late night with Conan O'Brien. Now, that would be disasterous
