"I don't even own a TV"

lots of adverbs about adverts in that last post. apologies.

the self-satisfied declarations of IDEOATV remind me of a dude I knew back in 1995 who used to pop into discussions of the OJ trial just to say, "What are you talking about? OJ Simpson? I've never even heard of him."

Most annoying: Being earwormed by "Flagpole Sitta."

I'm glad it's not just me! Every time I see the thread on New Answers...

My parents just watch TV all evening more or less regardless of what's on. I just refresh ILX all evening regardless of what's on. We will never understand each other, to the point of thinking the other preference is wasteful, moronic and rude (certainly I know they feel that way about me looking at my phone or the computer, even if they're just watching TV, and I kind of feel the same about snoring in front of News 24 from 6pm until bedtime every evening), even though it's basically the same thing.

Flagpole Sitta has been stuck in my head ever since this thread started and I'm not pleased.

You're lucky. They cut off my legs, now I'm an amputee.

God damn you.

why did peep show use that as the theme? they had a perfectly good theme!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Voted third option

My friend told me he doesn't watch TV when I asked him if he'd seen True Detective yet. I nearly thumped him, because he does watch TV.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

the sockpuppets have spoken

I'm not sure I even understood the question in the first place.

Can we go through it again?

I realised I was a bit out of touch when I picked up a TV for free off the street and plugged the RF cable into the back that I presume is connected from my wall to an aerial on the roof, only to remember that they don't even broadcast analog TV any more.

yes you are out of touch

tbh I'd forgotten about that as well, and we've had a TV the whole time, but we have no analog aerial in our flat, just a Sky dish.

digital telly can come thru your analogue aerial

but you need a digital receiver for it

and a telly don't forget

I don't even have an analogue aerial.

Occurred to me the other day that "I don't even OWN a microwave! It would just sit in the corner of the kitchen doing nothing!" has now superseded IDEOATV! as a signifier of bourgie smuggery among some of my acquaintances.

is there analogue for microwaves for what sopranos/wire/mad men/breaking bad/true detective are to the telly?

hot pockets iirc

Use as a rice steamer.

quinoa actually

The landlord offered me a microwave but I had to turn it down, not out of smuggery but rather because the kitchenette in my bedsit has so little surface area that I would have no room left to prepare food :(

Most new TVs are digital ready so you can just plug in the rf rabbit ears and get HD broadcast. Best HD around! Better quality than most cable or satellite

telly goes on top of the microwave

i DVR hot pocket commercials so i can watch them while i cook a hot pocket
