That's something I've been worried about -- how to be fannish when I have limited TV access and the like. :)
Yeah, that worried me a bit as well before I got to school, but the great thing about college (or Kenyon, anyway) is that nobody except the truly dedicated watch TV. There's none of this sitting in front of the TV when you have nothing to do; it's only on when someone is a fan of a series and makes a weekly committment to it, at least in my experience. Popular shows like The West Wing or Friends or whatever usually have several people watching them in a lot of lounges, but most of the time they're completely empty. Also, you can reserve lounge TVs by taking to your RA, which is exceptionally useful, and if for some reason your lounge is already reserved, you can usually find one somewhere that isn't being used.
