[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not anti-tv, but if you need a television on to connect with people, you probably need to work on your social skills.[/quote]

Agree.  Maybe bone up on some current events, entertainment news, jokes, etc.  [/quote]

We never have the tv on when we have guests, and our house is full of laughter and fun. If I traveled to a holiday where everyone sat in front of a tv, that would be my last at their house. I can't believe some people are so boring and devoid of original thought that they need the tv. [/quote]

This thread is about FAMILY gatherings, so what would apply here does not translate into what you would do at a different sort of dinner party. My family and friends often watch TV together at casual gatherings. For award shows, we discuss outfits, speeches, red carpet, etc. For TV shows, we discuss theories on "who dun it" and/or what just happened. Or we'll watch game shows and try to guess the answers. Watching TV is not always an "eyes straight ahead thing" but can be an interactive experience as well. [/quote]

I can think of a million things I would rather discuss than a game show. Seriously , you aren't helping the tv cause here.[/quote]
