What's one thing the average person can do to get more out of a visit to a museum? Or, to take it further, what's one thing the average person can do to get more out of a work of art?

Do you find it difficult to talk about TV more casually, say, with family members or friends who don't read recaps or even consistently follow the same shows week-to-week? How do you talk with those people about shows they love that you dislike without sounding totally pretentious?

Basically: Teach me how to be nice when my aunt starts raving about "The Big Bang Theory" and I just want to roll my eyes.

I've been reading your recaps since your Blogspot days and you convinced me to watch nearly all my now-favorite shows, including and especially "The Wire". Thanks.
