McCain prefers to read his TV shows
The television viewing habits of presidential candidate Senator John
McCain are unlikely to sway voters in one direction or another, but
they certainly are interesting.
McCain told Radar magazine in an upcoming interview that his favorite
shows are "Dexter," "Lost," "Seinfeld," "The Wire," and "The Tudors."
This is where it gets peculiar: McCain says that he often doesn't
watch the shows themselves, instead he just reads the scripts,
"because obviously with my schedule and such, I don't get a chance to
watch them on a regular basis."
(Is this more efficient than getting the DVDs sent from the studios?
Downloading to an iPod? Just saying.)
McCain, who hadn't yet cancelled his Letterman appearance when the
interview took place, did make reference to his good relationship with
the host, Portfolio.com points out. They quote McCain as saying, "It's
always pleasant to be on those shows, because Leno and Letterman are
both very good guys," he said.

So does he decide on which show he likes by reading the scripts for every
new show?

He faces his greatest challenge when the instructions read "First, plug in
the unit."
