My parents were constantly watching Come and See, which isn't surprising. They were obsessed with every small victory the USSR had against reactionary forces.
Just kidding. This is probably what my kids will say about me when they're talking to their fellow conscripts in the Burger King-Papa John's war.
Edit: Thank God, my parents almost never watch the same thing twice. It's not obscure, but they're most influential media is probably the NFL. Particularly for my mom, they are firmly rooted in her brain. Which is weird, because after decades of watching football she still doesn't know the rules. Still, she refers to the NFL as "the league." I hate it.
Once she had a moment of clarity where she realized the news was bullshit. She couldn't understand why some NFL scandal was being ignored by the sports news. I tried to explain that the week of inane, breathless news between each game was just a commercial for the NFL and that the NFL itself was just a commercial for the US military, and all I accomplished was reaffirming that I'm an idiot.
