Only downside I've seen is my wife doesn't get cultural references, and doesn't do anything without a TV show on, after having grown up without TV. And god help you if you're talking to her while she's watching it; she may as well have noise cancelling headphones on turned to 11, even if the volume is low from her laptop speakers.
