@Strangiato you really think television isn't important and viewing habits don't merit much thought? television and viewing habits both drive big $$$ and are vehicles for politics etc.

While true, television does drive most of society. Having such strong opinions on how people watch it is rather boring. Watch it how you like and move on. Or, don't watch it.

Television advertising has a large effect on society. Television viewing trends have a large effect on society. Specific television content doesn't (or shouldn't) have a large effect on individuals. Their preferred schedule for viewing television content has even less effect.

I am not a fan of tv. I think the current television offerings make the world a worse place, and I really only watch baseball and Breaking Bad. (I did like The Wire too.)

"shouldn't" is the operative term there.
