You know what would be social? Going over to a friend's house to watch that show with them.
Get some perspective.
Where I grew up, we got two channels. Later, when we erected a huge antennae, we got two more. I didn't know what "Nickelodeon" was. So what did I do? I asked kids about the show they described, and I went to a friends house who had cable to watch it.
If indeed TV wasn't a big deal where you grew up, replace "TV" with whatever activity dominated the social scene among kids your age. For example, it might just be hanging out and shooting the breeze, or it might be sports, etc.
As a former homeschooled kid, I definitely believe shared experiences and culture are important to socializing.
The sense of entitlement and the notion of "harm" contained in the above comment is just unbelievable.
How about real bloody issues, like being the only kid in highschool who's parents can't afford medical coverage? Or sending him to college?
Those are also first world problems.
The various types of free "low quality" (by US standards) medicine available in the US are far better than what you get in much of the third world.
Despite what the media show in their humanitarian segments, the third world is vast, and third world problems are not just of the kind: no access to water, famine and/or civil war.
