Always respect the wishes of your parents. Accept that your choices will differ. Introduce your likes, preferences and lifestyle to them in subtle ways. Just because you are an adult now, doesn't mean the golden rule "obey and respect your parents" (or something along those lines) vanished in thin air.
They're not your children, they're not in a position of deference to your preferences. If they want to watch a certain program on TV that you don't, show your respect and walk away. Be proactive and set things up to have your own space to avoid bumping into theirs, such as purchasing your own TV, watching things online or visiting a friend's place for those "must watch" things that don't interest your parents. From what you wear to what they eat, your choices will differ. This doesn't imply that either of you is right or wrong. Each person is entitled to the way that they want to live their own life. Respect and value their choices as you do yours. Never be afraid to be yourself but do it respectfully. They may actually be more accepting of you once they know things better. Your likes may even become their preference over time. Oh no, buddy. That's a lifelong rule. Live with it, and try to be happy while you're at it. It helps ease unnecessary controversy.
