This article seeks to understand why it is relatively easy for today’s individuals to acquire new behaviors, how the mechanism behind such acquisition developed, and how it is socially coordinated. Empirical findings reveal that new behaviors are mostly acquired unthinkingly. Hence, revisiting practice theory, I propose the concept of meta-habit to help us understand the blind and automatic acquisition of new behaviors. According to Pierre Bourdieu, habitus acquired primarily in childhood generates practices and contributes to the reproduction of the social order. Meta-habit includes disposal toward being open to situational context, toward inquisitiveness, and toward reading the external clues of behavior. Meta-habit generates practices on the basis of influences in the symbolic community: in this way practices are coordinated socially. Meta-habit is responsible for the reproduction of the social order in situations when the social space is very dynamic-this being the case of late modernity, which is a system comprising myriads of fields.

The object of consideration in this article are TV series present on the Polish media market, produced since the 1990s until today. The series are both American and Polish. In this article they are considered as symbolic communities. I scrutinize the characters presented in each of the series to demonstrate that they impersonate television myths belonging to a wider symbolic process of creating television mythologies. By conceiving series’ characters as symbolic constructions I attempt to answer the question, what those popular series myths tell us and what kind of communities emerge around them.
