Out of touch with the world of TV

Of the "big" winners at the Emmy's ........

Outstanding Drama Series - Game of Thrones

Outstanding Actress in a Drama - Viola Davis in How to Get Away with Murder

Outstanding Actor in a Drama - Jon Hamm in Mad Men

Outstanding Comedy Series - Veep

Outstanding Actress in a Comedy - Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Veep

Outstanding Actor in a Comedy - Jeffrey Tambor in Transparent

...I've not watched one episode of any of the above shows.  I haven't watched Olive Kitteridge (Outstanding Limited Series), and I've never seen a full episode of The Daily Show (Outstanding Variety Talk Show).  Gasp!  I know.  I think Amy Schumer is hilarious, but I haven't seen a full episode of her show either (Outstanding Variety Sketch Show). 

You know what I have watched of all the award winners on the primetime broadcast?  The Voice (Outstanding Reality Competition). 

Right or wrong, this is the one I've actually watched.  Only a season or two.  Because, in Australia, we have our own version of The Voice with different coaches, and I watch the Aussie version.  We've only had Jessie J one year, and I'm really hoping to get Keith Urban back after he's done with his American Idol stint.  But, I digress....

If and when I'm watching television, I'm usually on the Crime & Investigation network watching some show about horrible criminals in America, Australia, or Britian (because we get a mix of shows from all three). 

And, I don't have Netflix.

Is that proof enough that I'm out of touch with the world of television?

Are you a television junkie?  Or, are you like me, a television ignoramus?

Signs that I am old and out of touch

I've tried pretty hard not to admit that I'm getting older, that I'm in my forties, but I can't run away from some of my old skool ways any longer.  Here's some evidence that I am indeed getting old and out of touch in some aspects of my life...

I've never downloaded a movie.  I'm sure I could figure it out but never done it.  I still rent dvds or watch them on satellite tv.  Nope.  Don't have Netflix either.

I still read books.  No e-books.  No audio books.

I'm not always down with the lingo that the kids speak.  "Miley, what's good?" What does that even mean?

I know she's 18 years old now, legally an adult, but I get very uncomfortable when I see pictures like this from Kylie Jenner's instagram.  (Really, any teenager posting similar pics, but she's the one we see the most.)  Let me clarify that I do not follow her ig, but the entertainment media love to share them.  I wonder if her mother ever thinks "I've created a monster".  Doubt it.  Her mother probably thinks "I've created a cash cow".

I looked at the Billboard Hot 100 songs - in the top 10, I don't even know who these people/artists/bands are - I know of Selena Gomez (but don't know the song), Adam Levine (but he's just "featuring" in a song that I don't know).  I never thought I'd get to this point when it came to music.

I still buy entire albums.  Not always.  But often enough.  And, I still call them albums.

Most recent purchase.  Of course.  Probably another sign that I am old.

When have you thought to yourself "I'm old and out of touch"?
