TV on in background: sometimes something jumps out at ya

[RAMd®d]

..but I've never understood the whole "TV in the background" thing.

I agree.

But for me that also applies to most music, most of the time. I really enjoy music and tend to dislike the "background" application of it.

There are some times when I have it take a seat *slightly* in the back, but only out of necessity.
