TV is useless when you're talking to someone who doesn't watch TV. On the other hand, if you're trying to make friends with people who obsessively watch X, Y, and Z shows on TV, then yes, you have to watch TV.

It's your call. What kind of idiot box watcher are you interested in? Sports fanatic? Idol cheerleader? Heroes wannabe? Jeopardy! specialist?

Find out what they're interested in and talk with them about it. That's it.
