1) No, I don't own a TV. I used to have one, but sold it back in HS to my employer, lol. I used to have a TV card for my computer, but the damn thing doesn't work any more. I don't really watch anything besides Star Trek and Stargate, anyways. And I've probably already seen them all, lol.
2) TITCR is a prestigious acronym that was born on the law board of the XOXOHTH message board, formerly the popular Princeton Review board. Although I've never seen many acronyms with periods after the letters, it is certainly not geigh to use such tools when talking on the internets. Saying, "this is the credited response" in its full form also sounds quite prestigious when used in the real world. Then again, I'm known for using the term 'broly' in RL, so take that as you will, lol.
