So your post is about broadening your experience, but you're dismissing TV because it's only use is to show you what other people are experiencing?
I'm not a big TV watcher, but I would certainly say there's some value to a walled in, introverted person in figuring out why "American Idol" or "Two And A Half Men" are some of the most popular shows in the US. Most people around here just assume it's because everyone else is a dumbass.
