Stick to it. In your latter years you'll never wish you had watched more TV, but you might fondly remember that moment you walked on a beach at sunset instead and had an amazing encounter.
Same applies to your phone too though :)

There's a long list of television shows I haven't started yet and wish I had. Game of Thrones, Sopranos, The Wire, Mr Robot, and lots of others. It's surprising how often conversations with friends and strangers revolve around our common culture.
I think a lot of people my age credit their love of sci fi while growing up in the 70's and 80's with putting them on their career path.
My advice would be to watch the TV you want to watch, then take your dog out for a walk after. Best of all worlds.
Some shows like House I have edited personally to create 'binge versions,' with the intro and outro cut out, with only special episodes that have special endings or intros included. Saves a good chunk of time with House and The Wire when I rewatch them. I wish a lot of other people did this as well. Instead groups stick to following scene rules that leave us with ugly formats, poor management and naming schemes and more. They were created for a different era.
Maybe I'll try to put it out there.
Fairly common (because, I suppose, birds of a feather...) but none the less not quite the same as the previous shared experience. That is, you saw Program X when I saw it. Same date and time. And not all that many years previous, everyone was in the same room watching the same TV.
I'm no Luddite, but I often wonder about the effects of personalization and the loss of the shared experience. If you remove live sports, how many (media) experiences now are common / shared?
The majority of time on my phone is for a hotspot or to read an article while waiting somewhere. Now to apply it to my PC, couldn't do it.
I suppose that's not the same as Facebook.
