Leaf: Oddities

Call it insane, pathetic, healthy, bizarre, whatever you like. These things seem to produce bafflement and bewilderment in most people who find out.

I didn't own a TV until 6/2000. I don't have cable, an antenna, or any means of watching television broadcasts. This suits me just fine.
I am not an avid fan of Babylon 5, the X Files, Seinfeld, Beavis and Butthead, The Simpsons, Dr. Who, the original Star Trek or any of the new versions, or South Park. With the exception of the new forms of Star Trek (TNG, DS9, etc) I have never seen more than a couple episodes of each.
I have never seen Beverly Hills 90210, the Jerry Springer Show, Survivors, or E.R.
It wasn't until long after the Starr report came out that I saw what Kenneth Starr or Monica Lewinsky looks like.

I haven't seen Titanic.
I have not seen more than about 15 minutes of Jurassic Park, and I was trying to avoid watching it. Note to Peter Pan Bus Lines: NOT a good choice for your on-board movie. Bleh.
I've never seen Reefer Madness, The Hunt for Red October, Silence of the Lambs, Clerks, 48 Hrs., Toy Story, the Godfather, or On Golden Pond.
To the best of my recollection, I have never seen any of the Rocky movies or any of the Friday the 13th movies.

I saw some Ally McBeal for the first time. Yeech. - 2/1999
I saw part of an episode of Friends the other day at the laundromat! I thought it was dumb. - 3/1999
I saw the movie The Highlander for the first time recently. - 3/1999
I saw the Blues Brothers for the first time a few months ago. Thanks Jer! -7/2000
I saw the South Park movie a few weeks back. Thanks AJ! -7/2000
