I must be lucky, my wife rates shows like I do, on the amout of Sex scenes, car chases, and gun fights.  If there not there we dont watch it.

I was made to watch Twilight. I refused to talk to the girlfriend for a week after that, and even then I needed... convincing.

Dude, I have to sit through those horrible ghost shows where a bunch of twits from jersey sit around old houses and motels and say, "Did you hear that?" all night! :furious  ...and the whole time my ex and daughter are glued to the tv like their giving away money or something.  Crazy!!! :x

Might be a very very good time to suddenly and loudly scream - mind you, the aftermath (once you stop laughing at em) isnt quite as funny (or that could just be my luck lol)

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

LOL  i feel your pain, My wife makes me watch the home transformation, home improvement shows. You know the ones im talking about, where 3 or 4 people show up at the house, have a budget of a thousand dollars, and "transform" a room to something different.  I just sit there as the anxiety builds, waiting for my wife to say " you know what....we could do that to our  <insert room here> and it would only take YOU a couple of days"

At any given time, i can see what im doing on the coming weekend by whats on the  TV.   :confused:

My wife watches home improvement shows. 

Then she wonders why it takes me longer than 30 minutes to remodel a bathroom.

Admittedly, I enjoy a lot of the improvement type shows.  Fortunately the g/f doesn't expect me to attempt the changes, so the anxiety is not quite there.  ;)

The benefit of being at the g/f rather than the wife ack level is that there is still room for compromise.  We watch a crappy made for tv movie one night, and band of brothers or firefly (both series she is starting to dig) the next.   :aok  Now I just need to get her into gaming...  :uhoh

Guess I'm lucky.. my wife likes Sci-Fi, and a good action flick too.. and yes, she does like that sappy tearjerker crap but her words to me are "Im gunna watch a chick flik.. go fly aces high... gotta love it.  Only time I get dragged into watching goofy movies is when my daughter wants me to watch some silly show with her... but I gladly do so, since I would do anything in the world for her.

I feel sorry for you guys...I'll watch pretty much anything except the low IQ stupidity...aka - scrubs, the office, american idiot, dancing with the stars, pawn stars, pit boss, the kardashians, wrestling...etc...and I'm lucky enough to have a woman who won't force me to watch the crap. But, I will watch a tear jerker if there is some entertainment value, unless the storyline is weaker than the wwe smackdown b.s.

Funny you brought this up.  Last night my wife is on the phone watching Ellen.   I come in the room change the tv to battle 360.   I got an ear full.  Then I asked that simple question.  How is it that you can talk on the phone and watch tv but you can't cook and talk on the phone?  My back is now hurting.  The sofa bed very uncomfortable.

You're missing the point. It doesn't count unless:

a: you're in the same room
b: you're actively watching America's Next Top Model
c: any distraction like laptops or books are well away from the vicinity of the couch
d: you are able to engage in extensive conversation about the relative modeling merits of Lexxy and Cherise at the end of the show.
e. you want to go to bed at the same time as them immediately afterwards.

Oh - and given the above, how in the Big-Man's name am I ever meant to clear the backlog of boy stuff I have on the DVR?
