...been very useful to accommodate human guilt and a human lifestyle to think, "Well, that's just a stationary object that can take care of itself." In fact, while they aren't a pack animal, they're very sociable. Cats who sit on the back of a couch and don't even look at you when you come into the room and stare out the window - what they really are is depressed and lonely, and they've learned how to survive in a highly understimulated environment.

But based on independent research, I don't think I'm alone in this obsession...

Did you honestly read a description of “The Office” in 2005 and make a date with your couch to view the pilot? Of course you didn’t. And you probably missed the new-show bandwagon last season, too. But it’s not too late to catch a front row seat to this season’s televised zeitgeist!Here are five shows that are each only one season old, so you can still...
