Conundrum - Facebook TV likes

I am a fan of many shows and I marked them all down on Facebook (henceforth referred to as "fb" so I can bring in the young audience - side note: Do kids read? Do they still even learn to read? We'll save these and other more pressing matters for future posts - second note: my mother-in-law refers to Facebook as SpaceShip, I find this hilarious.). Indicating the TV shows I like serves a couple of purposes:

1) All of my friends can readily see how cool I am that I watch "Breaking Bad" and "How to Make it in America." Basically I put a bunch of shows on there that I may or may not watch, but want people to think I watch, so they will think I am cool. I am at the mercy of what other people think.

2) For shows I do actually watch, when the new season is about to begin they post an announcement and I see it on my news feed which reminds me to record/watch it, buy popcorn, and make sure I am not in the middle of something (pooping) at 9PM.

Having all these likes of TV shows on fb presents a problem though. Most shows post crap like every god damn day. Most of the time I just skip those posts on my news feed, but it is beginning to bother me and I'd rather not see all of these posts. I know I could hide all the posts of "Dexter" but then how the hell am I supposed to remember that a new season is about to premier? This f-ing blows.


Yours truly,
J
