Not watching popular TV has made my talks with friends more real.

It also forces you to form opinions based on your own life, not a show's plot.

My best chats come from actual stuff that's happened to us.

But if everyone stopped watching, would we just end up with different shared references? Derek's point about forming your own opinions only works if you still have some common ground to talk about. Otherwise you're just people in a room with nothing to say.
