Aside from the fact that all the characters have smartphones, I think the author is hearkening back to an older time when there were not 500 channels of nonstop entertainment on television on at all times. Back in the 80s there were only a handful of shows to watch at any given hour. I'm not sure if that's the case with Japan, but if there are only four or five options of something to watch, it would be easy for her to tell which show he would like.
