We don't watch TV, but we do occasionally rent old TV series on DVD to see what the fuss was all about. Within the last year, we finished the x-files (including all spinoffs), Twin Peaks, and Nortern Exposure.

We may embark on Seinfeld or the Simpsons one of these days. As for music, we might give Men at Work a listen one of these days after hearing 'Land Down Under' the other day. I rather liked it. Needless to say we haven't listened to popular music since about 1978 or so.

When it comes to watercooler conversations we're a spent force, but at least we get to enjoy what's stood the test of time and we don't have to wait a week for the next episode!
