<p>have any of you been educated in some way or form by a television show? the shows besides like history channel or Nova or what not, i man like the simpsons or seinfeld or something.</p>
<p>I think I've learned medical terminology from watching House.
But I'm also aware that not all of it is accurate.</p>
<p>Spongebob is an endless cornucopia of knowledge and wisdom.</p>
<p>Music-wise: I've learned all about my pancreas and a lil' physics from Mr. Yankovic, lol.</p>
<p>Culturally educated, yes. I've learned a lot about American culture/pop culture from The Simpsons. :p</p>
<p>I learned what a hemispherectomy was from Grey's Anatomy... very helpful for my psych class! haha</p>
<p>I've learned some medical terminology from House. And I learned some government and politics from The West Wing.</p>
<p>I've actually learned vocab words from tv shows. Hey, if you can by reading, why not by tv?</p>
<p>hmm... not too much. but I don't really watch tv, so I guess that could be why.</p>
<p>but then I guess the general american public is educated solely through television, which isn't that much of a problem when you think about it lol</p>
<p>Daily Show, Colbert Report, South Park, Family Guy, and The Simpsons <-- Politics :D Yes...Politics...</p>
<p>5 generations worth of pop culture through family guy :)</p>
<p>sat voc words from spongebob</p>
<p>I learn a lot about current events by watching shows like The Daily Show and Glenn Beck. Every morning while I'm getting ready I listen to the news.</p>
<p>I also learn a lot about medicine from House, and just random vocab from any show, really.</p>
<p>I learn a lot about literature and history from the Simpsons.</p>
<p>you can learn loads from Flying Circus. Despite being a bit lowbrow often, it's still very esoteric. Philosophers football, anyone?</p>
<p>Hmm...does Myth Busters count? guess not...
I think I've learned a lot of pop culture from various t.v. shows, I learned what a lumbar puncture is from House....And I'm pretty sure I learned who Trotsky was from Flying Circus.
Yeah I guess you learn bits and pieces from T.V. heh.</p>
<p>LOST...nothing is as simple as it seems, and so much more.</p>
