If I look at that conservation you let your dad determine the topic.
When your dad calls you could also start telling him what awesome thing happened last week in your life.
You; Hello?
He; What are you doing?
You; I just read this awesome book, that I have to tell you about
He: So what is the book about?
You: ...
What are you doing is a very openended question where you can choice a lot of positive answers.
You made the choice to answer with a very short neutral sentence (and I don't imagine you were very passionate in your delivery about watching TV).
It boils down to have something positive to talk about (you probably shouldn't pick something spiritiual but there are a lot of positive things that he can probably listen to).
