Re: Spoilers
I feel like there was a time when you could retort: "I don't watch TV" and that carried a sort of superiority factor with it.  As in, you are much too busy doing other, more important, more scholarly things to waste your time sitting around like that.  But these days I feel like if you don't watch Netflix or Hulu you are truly an odd bird and seem untrustworhty almost!  Is it just me?

Re: Spoilers
I get it too and can even understand why they lie because social exclusion is a pretty intense motivator for many people - especially at work.  But these days, there is no reason to caught.  You just have to do some homework first and check the internet for the latest update on the popular shows in your office.

Re: Watercooler Effect
Since there are now over 400 scripted shows available, this means people have to pick and choose. And not everyone likes the same shows, especially some of the biggest blockbusters. 

This is what leads people to lie about shows, to remain in a conversation even if they don't like a particular series.

Spoilers
I get that people want to be part of the group, but I don't get why they lie.  If you get caught in the lie you are going to look dumb and if it is a show that you actually watch and are just behind on you are going to hear spoilers that you don't want to hear.

Watercooler Effect
Watercooler surveyed young to older groups with ages 18-49 and it great for promoting shows to capture an audience.
