TV or not TV

I am not in the habit of watching TV. I often feel like a popular culture outcast when people talk about their favorite shows. As often as not, I've never even seen whatever it is they are talking about. Or if I have, I probably got bored and went on to something else before it was over. Part of it is that I can't abide watching ads; that's when I bail out. We have never had cable. I decided against it when they first wired our neighborhood for it many years ago, so we are not even set up for it. Sometimes I wish I had it for specific programs, but I would never watch enough to make it worth the fee. So Bill and I watch mostly an occasional program on PBS - like Mystery! or Masterpiece Theater or Dr Who. I like British comedies and detective shows. We check out DVDs from the library and have watched a lot of shows that way. I love the Dallas Public Library! And I've watched a lot of Scrubs because my daughter owns a couple of seasons on DVD. So I can't be a snob and say that I NEVER watch TV, but I can truthfully say that I watch very little and I will not be a good conversationalist if you want to talk about your favorite shows or the fall lineup. Lucky for me, Bill is not a couch potato either.
