I, also don't watch Television very much...I see Flames Games, and that's about it.
I am really busy in my free-time, and would rather be productive than put in the 2+(?) hours a night keeping up on shows that people seem to do.
My reasoning is that if shows are really worth my time, then in the future they will be available to me all at once via DVD, as well as be highly regarded. I see no value in watching the same ty Tim Horton's commercials 21 times an hour, or watching any of the "reality" trash that is so popular.
I have no doubt that some shows are better than movies, but I will partake on my schedule, which in a couple of years, will open up to include regular evenings for passive entertainment.
I don't think people are mindless for watching TV, I think they just have more free time than I do.
