A short time ago someone was asking about watching shows and when I told them, "no I've never watched that", they were apoplectic as if I had just killed their kid. It stunned them.
The movie was "It's a Wonderful Life." I have nothing against it and I watch plenty of black and white movies but I have never had a desire.
It made me think of others and what blockbusters people have assumed you watched. ( I can say 99% of the people who never saw the Godfather are women)
It's probably grown a lot since of all the streaming shows now for people who don't have certain subscriptions.
Some others that quickly come to mind:
1. Game of Thrones
2. The Walking Dead
3. All the Harry Potter franchise
4. Citizen Kane except small parts-didn't interest me
5. Gone with the Wind
6. Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul (However I plan to eventually binge both)
7. Vampire related movies after "The Lost Boys"
8. Schindler's List
9. Saving Private Ryan [Reply]

That has happened to me more than once for Ghostbusters. Still have never seen it. [Reply]
Since the end of Person of Interest, I've only watched two new television series, the Jack Reacher series on Amazon, and All Creatures Great and Small on PBS. I'm also still watching the Doc Martin series as it comes along.
Outside of that, any post-2016 TV series has gone unseen by me. [Reply]

Holy crap, you are in for a shocking revelation!
Everyone now drinks whiskey neat, no matter what the time of day.
Like the NFL, most actors/actresses are now black with half the marriages being interacial.
At least one gay/trans situation in every show, in fact, if Ozzie and Harriet were done today, Ozzie would cheating on Harriet with a guy and Ricky Nelson would be a girl trapped in a male body. [Reply]
