Those catch ups can be brutal. I'm terrified what Breaking Bad might do to me.

I watched everything but the current half-season this past summer. Whoo-wee!

We don't watch TV, but we do occasionally rent old TV series on DVD to see what the fuss was all about. Within the last year, we finished the x-files (including all spinoffs), Twin Peaks, and Nortern Exposure.

We may embark on Seinfeld or the Simpsons one of these days. As for music, we might give Men at Work a listen one of these days after hearing 'Land Down Under' the other day. I rather liked it. Needless to say we haven't listened to popular music since about 1978 or so.

When it comes to watercooler conversations we're a spent force, but at least we get to enjoy what's stood the test of time and we don't have to wait a week for the next episode!

"The Big Bang Theory" was on for two or three years before I discovered it. The same went for "Monk", "House", and several other shows that were very popular for a number of years before I ever caught on.

I have, more or less, been able to keep up with the pop music, because I take take exercise classes most days of the week. Much of what the instructors play tends to be current or recent pop songs. Needless to say, I'm really of sick of Adele's hit songs. And, Pink's, and Beyonce's, and Rihanna's, and Bruno Mars', and... If I hear that freakin' "Girl on Fire" song one more time, I think I might scream.

Not sure why except I don't watch too much TV or read magazines.

Pop culture seems to slip by me like a quiet stream in the forest.

My daughter tells me that John Farnham is kind of back in fashion. Hell, I was in my prime in the 80's and I had no idea who he was until yesterday.

I didn't get in to certain shows till it finally came up on Netflix.

What they are, I will never tell.

Any how, check this one out.

what everybody else has been watching for three years.

Here, have some Macklemore - You'll only be behind the trend if (like me) you're from Seattle.

Thrift Shop

Evidently there's this group called The Bee Gees that are supposed to be pretty good. I think I'll start listening to them now so I can be ahead of the curve!

Back in October of 2011, I had a bunch of iTunes credit, a brand new iPhone, and time to kill on my hour-and-a-half commute home every day. Also, everybody else seemed to have good things to say about Dexter, so I gave it a shot. For the next few months I was all "How's Dex gonna get out of THIS one?"

Fun times.

and then watched every single one.
I knew of Adele pretty soon, thanks to my kids. I think I noticed her because she sounds so real compared to the other pop singers on the radio today.

Some years ago, someone here had a YouTube link (to a song by the Band), I never knew the drummer sang so much.
Then I discovered what the whole YouTube thing was about. I eagerly told my kids about it. That was the day they realized their mother was basically a dinosaur.

never "catching up," or even becoming aware of, at all.

I'm not very interested in pop culture.
