<p>I saw my very first episodes of SNL and the daily show this year at my boyfriends house. I've seen about ten minutes total of the daily show, and I've seen about two-three SNL episodes, but only bits and pieces. I can't stand Amy Poehler or whatever her name is so I leave during her parts. The only time we put it on is if we're completely bored on a Saturday Night at whatever time it comes on. Which means, not very often.</p>
<p>I also had never seen Seinfeld or even knew who he was... until my boyfriend introduced me. We decided to start on season 1, episode one and work our way through. We're up to season 3 I believe after I don't know how many months. I do however go to my boyfriends on Thursdays when The Office is not playing re-runs because I enjoy that show.</p>
<p>Like I said, I'm not a TV person and other than I Love Lucy I didn't watch TV when I was a kid either. I'm about 99.9 percent sure I won't have cable when I move out.. complete waste of money. I don't want a phone line either, however I'm going to have to budge on one of them so I can have the Internet. Maybe go with the basic 20 channel line up and the internet.. I guess we'll see when the time comes. :)</p>
<p>I do however have every intention of buying a nice big plasma/lcd TV when I have my own home... with an awesome sound system for my movie viewing pleasure. :)</p>
<p>i had a tv in my room last year. but my school doesn't have cable in the individual rooms, so me and my roomies had to get an antenna. and being the iPod/internet generation kids that we are, we had no idea how to work the antenna. so we ended up just watching movies on it...</p>
<p>D and roommate decided not to have a TV in the room freshman year. Since she is not a big TV watcher, what she does watch (greys, sex and the city) she saw with a group of friends. The one thing she told me it seems that the guys are more likely to have TVs (then some go all out big flat screens, stereo hook ups, etc.)</p>
<p>sybbie, I very much agree with boys and their toys regarding electronics. Last year I helped my daughter move out of her dorm and into an apartment for student teaching. At her school they have storage rooms in all the dorms (kids are dormed all four years) and when we went down to the storage area to get her stuff you could immediately identify a boy pile of stuff (tv's -often bigger ones, speakers, game systems etc.) and a girls (lamps, futon's, pictures, small tv's). </p>
<p>I try very much not to be sexist but it seems that my son who is an English major and not very sporty is much more comfortable relating to people through an electronic medium by playing computer or video games. My daughter is comfortable with head on conversation and her electronic toys all center around music.</p>
<p>Fender....for movies a computer is great. 22" widescreen monitors are now cheap and can be connected to a laptop. </p>
<p>My D's college has cable installed as a default (with a credit for opting out). It seems weird to me.</p>
<p>I find it interesting that it is common to watch some trashy weekly show (like Project Runway) as a social thing. I have started watching all television on a DVR, and seldom watch anything at a scheduled time.</p>
<p>In a similar vein, I find it ironic that just when all students have laptops with 100's of fonts and fancy graphics programs, letterpress printing has become popular at some schools.</p>
<p>I think today's kids are great.</p>
