When I called my mom last night, the first words out her mouth were, "So were you shocked?! We were so shocked! I couldn't believe it! Did you see it?!" It took me a second to figure out what she was talking about. Was it about world politics or current events? No, it was about American Idol.
If I like the show, she and the rest of my family love it and many other shows. Part of the reason I watch is so that I'm not entirely clueless during family dinner conversations. I have my parents' love of television to thank for the unhealthy amount of TV trivia I still retain from my youth. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

my family is the same way. I simply just shrug my shoulders when they start to talk TV. Whenever I go visit them, the TV is almost always on, and I almost always sit in front of it and stare blankly. *sigh* old habits die hard, I suppose...
I know what you mean. Whenever I visit my folks, I can fall back into the television routine a little too easily. Scary. :P
