My husband and I started watching American Idol every week with two other couples a few years ago and found ourselves two years later very close and spending lots of non-tv time together. We would usually do dinner or hang-out beforehand and then stay late afterward, and then when the season was over we'd keep our weekly tradition and just pick a new show to watch or just spend time together. We went from being common friends to very close. I think watching tv together once a week is a great way for people to make a commmitment to meeting regularly when they otherwise wouldn't, and great fun and conversation almost always happens, especially in a show as interactive as American Idol! =) <abbr><em>Emilys last blog post..<a href="http://letsbehonesthere.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/change-of-plans/" rel="nofollow">Change of plans</a></abbr></em> I totally agree!

How about: <b>5. Choose shows that are worth discussing.</b> Some TV is just mindless entertainment; some lends itself to worthwhile conversation, though it only makes a difference if you acually <i>do</i> talk about it with someone. <abbr><em>Ken Browns last blog post..<a href="http://c-orthodoxy.blogspot.com/2008/10/if-only-my-wife-would-say-this.html" rel="nofollow">If Only My Wife Would Say This</a></abbr></em> Excellent!
