So I worked an event last night. Wine and food - the usual. Beautiful people and not so beautiful people sipping wine, making conversation, and blah blah blah. I ran into a few old friends and made some new acquaintances and I was surprised at how often TV shows came up in conversation. It seems our "cleverness" is created by Hollywood writers.
Yesterday I wrote about TV for kids and how it's all sarcasm. TV for grown ups is basically the same but with sex added.
Oddly, I didn't feel deprived or even disengaged although I had nothing to say about current events or the latest sitcoms. I steered the conversation back to the banalities I am more familiar with.
Do not fear life without TV. I am proof that you will survive - even in social situations. Take the challenge: One hour of time you would normally spend in front of the tube dedicated to something else. See what a difference it makes.
You'll be glad you did.
