<p>Just wondering.</p>

2

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>No I’d probably just sit them down ad we’d watch mean girls, the o.c. (making sure to fast forward over anytime that mischa barton speaks) and a marathon of jersey shore. They’d be good.</p>

3

<p>No, I wouldn’t.</p>

4

<p>Kinda…well actually not really! I have friends who don’t watch TV like at all! Actually I gain respect for them, because I wish I was never introduced to the evil we call TV entertainment</p>

5

<p>I’ve never watched much television at all. I don’t think people look down on me for that.</p>

6

<p>^ Yeah, that.</p>

7

<p>The only show I’ve ever followed is Jeopardy! and people joke that I’ve only seen four movies.</p>

8

<p>maybe…</p>

<p>Jeopardy! is the best show ever… aand I’m beast at it. nbd</p>

9

<p>Since my school isn’t big on academics, pop culture knowledge is pretty important. Luckily, I got a good crash course in it pretty quickly.</p>

10

<p>Not at all. I might even respect the person even more.</p>

11

<p>maybe. as long as we can talk about something else, like books, I wouldn’t.</p>

12

<p>NOPE.</p>

<p>If I said yes to that question, that would mean I would not respect all the indigenous people, some poor North Koreans or Somalians, and other people, which would be extremely shallow.</p>

13

<p>ohmagod</p>

<p>double post.</p>

14

<p>Nope, not at all…</p>

<p>I don’t watch TV except for Psych, White Collar, and sometimes House.
I love movies…! I don’t go to the movie theater often though :/</p>

15

<p>No… because I don’t watch much.</p>

<p>I refuse to watch the **** on MTV, VH1, and BET.</p>

16

<p>often not watching TV/movies is a form of cultural elitism. This attitude is seen very prominently in the post directly above mine. When I perceive that this is the case (versus them not having a TV growing up or they are too busy doing other things) I definitely lose respect for them.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>not watching TV is a choice, not cultural elitism. Especially when some of the media have seemed to dumbed down the American culture. . .</p>

18

<p>^??? </p>

<p>Yes, it is a choice that often corresponds to a form of cultural elitism.</p>

19

<p>I only watch Science channel, NatGeo, and anything with Gordon Ramsey.</p>

<p>He’s my hero.</p>
