It's frustrating to me, because there are a lot of television shows I think I'd like if I could make myself watch them. *sigh*
I am dead certain I'd watch a lot more TV if I didn't live alone. I tended to mirror my family's viewing habits when I was growing up, and was bad at regularly remembering to watch the couple shows I didn't share with them. (Namely, Buffy and Angel.) Having someone else say, "Hey, let's watch Thing X," overcomes my own inertia and reluctance to hand over a chunk of my time, and also just being in someone else's company mitigates the worst edge of my sympathetic embarrassment squick.
