The awkward silence that comes about once people don't have favorite television shows to bond over anymore

Just bring up shows that aren't too controversial and are universally beloved, like Friday Night Lights or Seinfeld. Nothing about dragons or meth. You don't want your grandparents thinking you're a supervirgin nerd for watching Game of Thrones. But you can only talk about how dreamy Coach Taylor and Newman are for so long.
