How to bluff my way around popular culture.
Okay, so I'm not somebody who watches a lot of TV - I find it to be entirely a waste of time. However, many many people I know (or don't) seem to, and as a result I frequently find myself left out of their discussions on the latest episode of Neighbors or The Hills or whatever.
What I thought I might try and do is find a way to get all of the information about what has happened each episode in short bullet points, preferably in RSS feeds. That way I could take maybe 5 minutes out of each day to familiarize myself with all the goings-on in the television world without having to suffer watching through any of the actual programs - and Wuhey! I'd be able to act as though I knew what I was talking about and join in with this constant interest which has so far eluded me.
So my question is what's the best way to go about it? What would be best is some sort of centralized source for quick summaries of the latest episodes of a plethora of shows (even better if there is some kind of comment system so I can find out people's opinions on stuff).
Cheers, Luke

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

You can find out all about what people are talking about around the water-cooler by watching Yahoo!'s daily show called "Primetime in No Time." It's a good way to know about everything important that happened on reality shows, dramas, and comedies without actually watching them. (Plus it's hosted by Frank Nicotero, the guy who used to host "Street Smarts"!) I believe Yahoo! also has similar web series for similar topics, like reality TV.
