This sounds like a reasonable approach.

I only have a broad idea of what The Sopranos might be about (a comic
drama about family of thugs and gangsters?) and I have a vague idea that
Sex in the City might have been some kind of heterosexual equivalent of
Queer as Folk.
Would it be fair to say they're more likely to be fans of The Office than
The Archers, or is that completely off your point?
