Who make ya watch crap on tv that should be considered cruel and unusual punishment?
The wife and daughter both hijack the living room and force me to watch the singing bee on CMT. I think its okay though, I make em watch Pawn Stars and various other shows though. :)

game starting now dah dah duh duh, have fun in the basement dah dah duh duh
-
Until they make you watch horrible movies such as the notebook.
-
my wife and daugfhter watch their stuff on tv, if I don't want to watch it,I'll go do something else. Go use the computer and do something else. Dosn't bother me.
-
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
-
Catt, usually ill go do something else as well. But uh..some times the wife "insists" and at times i cant say no. Damn those female powers of persuaion!
Mr rock of the sky, i feel ya. Every damn weds she watches ghost hunters. Most of the ghost hunters are absolutely awful, some arent all that bad. Anyone catch that episode where they were looking for hitler?
Its also american idol season, she likes it and I have to admit to getting some enjoyment from watching the really bad singers bomb whilst I giggle when the judges crush their souls. :)
-
you dont know pain until you've had to sit through a latin american soap opera because if you not there they WILL watch the next soap opera coming on and you wont get your scifi show.
-
My missus watches the crime and investigation channell 24/7, this wasn't to bad at first but now I'm starting to think like a serial killer. And she calls all the history channell stuff I watch "boring as dogs balls"
-
Lock everything except Discovery, History, and The Military channel......and dont tell them the code
POWER OF THE CHANNEL MUST BE RESTORED!!!!
-
Hehe... I get a kick out of the Wife's TV habits. Since I am working such long hours, she wants me to sit with her, so I just pour a nice scotch, and then sit down open up the lap top and laugh along.
-
You have never suffered until you have suffered a cambodian/thai tv soap.

Back in the AW days my wife flew as my gunner, she loved popping planes in my B17 she went by MotZZ
-

Not me. She watches TV, I fly AH.
I'm hardly watching TV anymore at all since a few years, so it usually doesn't matter to me what kind of crap she's consuming there. :aok
-
My ex wife use to make me watch all those crappy reality tv shows on VH1 with her, and I mean all of them.

Ya know, if I had a show called "Hog Hunters" on T.V,and I had been at it like 7 farkin' years and never even come up with a good *picture* of a hog, I might have to conclude I suck at hog hunting...
-
Geeze guys.. Just let the helium out of your blowup dolls then you can do what you want:)
-
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.
-
I was made to watch Twilight.
I feel ya, same thing happen to me.

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)

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 Mom, Sister, and girlfriend all love to watch The Office........I gots it made :D
-
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.

We have 4 TVs in the house...... :D
-
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.
v1st
-
cant stand whats on the tv mostly...besides My wife has learned over all the years she has dealt with me to let sleeping lions sleep :D
the kids on the other hand LOL I can sing every song in Alladin..shriek...Fox and the hound...list goes on and on :rofl
picture me a 220 lb guy who people have said I "look more like Rob Zombie, then Rob Zombie does" singing along to Winnie the Pooh's hevalumps and wuzzles.... :rofl
-

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?
-
I don't have to worry about that. We have 3 tv's I can watch, the living room, our bedroom and the big screen in the tv room. They watch their stuff in the living room, I watch mind in the tv room. We have a couple of shows we like to watch together, but it's hard to get together to watch em. No worrys here. :rock
-
Then I asked that simple question.
This is a delusion, there is no simple question when asking a wife...if she doesn't like the question, you may be interrogated for hours about why you would ask such a thing... if she likes the question, you may be interrogated for hours on why you don't ask her questions more often!! :aok
How is it that you can talk on the phone and watch tv but you can't cook and talk on the phone?
v1st
Also, do not attempt to infuse logic in your questions to the wife..logic usually ends up you checking the weather to find out how many blankets to take to the doghouse with you! :devil

Which is the main reason I insulated the doghouse and made it 7'x8'. Juuuuuuuuust in case

Wooley, I feel as if you left an important tid bit out on option E. That should also include sleeping in the same bed. :) Also, its worth mentioning that we also have multiple TVs in the house as well. However they get some strange satisfaction out of wanting to watch the chick flicks in the living room, worse when you are home and are wanting to watch your show. :)
Thank cod for DVR, ill say that much heh. Ink, I cant decide if I would pay money to hear (or not to hear ya) singing along with winnie the pooh etc. :p
I find it more bearable to watch kid shows with the youngest than it is to watch something like hannah montana with the daughter. Lucky enough for me, she keeps most of the teenie bopper watching in her room. :)
To the guy who compared the ghost hunting shows to making a hog hunting show.. Lol! I couldnt agree more.
-

Sunday...Sunday...Sunday...Sunday
Give the woman some money...send her and the kids to the store or her parents house...problem solved.

I would say "Not" to hear :rofl

Project Runway.....Iron Chef....Real Housewives of Whatever....it never stops....but as soon as I turn to the History Channel or Discovery "*Groan*" lol
-
I don't watch TV, period.
If you don't watch TV and don't read the newspapers, you are uninformed. If you do watch TV and/or read the newspapers you are misinformed. That's all there's to it. Although some ppl are completely uninformed regardless because all they care about is entertainment.
-
Only when I feel like being nice, they stay in the living room with their program. Otherwise, I get home and I want to watch a program, I change the channel and either they accept it or they go upstairs. :aok

my wife wouldn't bother with trying to tell me what to watch, she knows if I don't want to watch what she watches I walk away.
As far as movies we watch alot of the same stuff, that works out.
My daughter watches the tv in the evening or plays, since my wife works nites I have dinner and cleaning and other responsibilites to take care of. If I do want to watch something, like football on sunday she won't say anything anyway since I next to ever watch the TV anyhow.
-
My wife made me watch so sort of crap made for tv movie. Then got pissed off when she finally looked at me at the end of it. I waited until she got up to use the bathroom and put my earplugs in and took a nap. :rofl I have never been complained at like that before except from my mother. Was worth it however I did get a nice 2.5 hours nap out of it.
-
Mama Mia' and the Golden Globes FTW. :D
-
Meh, just watch the shows. They enjoy your company. And they'll remember that next time you're on an all-nighter on AH. ;)
And for extra-bonus points, take them to see the movie "Letters to Juliet" opening weekend.
-

:O
:bolt:
-
So txmom, what do ya make your man watch? Im going to assume he is going to go for the extra brownie points and take ya to that movie you mentioned. ;)
On a somewhat related note, the wife asked me to watch Jennifers Body. Even though I went kicking and screaming (ok thats a fib hehe) it was an alright flick, but I think the eye candy made it worth it. GDR.
-
Well, If you gentleman have a girlfriend who has dragged you to see the Twilight films and then gone on to drag you through a mall and THEN bumped into some friends talking about how hot a fictional bloodsucking killer is. You can claim to have the second worst experience I have had.
THe first was having to sit through her birthday....... High school musical marathon followed by Titanic. :cry :rolleyes: :confused: :uhoh :(

I dont have a TV, problem solved. Anything we watch is on the net.
She does convince me watch the odd soap opera via internet during the week, but i kind of enjoy snuggling in bed and spending time together not arguing about something pointless.
-

I made mine watch the Drop Dead Diva show (each episode, which we DVR'd, or whatever it's called). He was a real champ with it. :)
He said he'd only consider taking me to the "Letters for Juliet" movie in exchange for me watching "Legion" with him. I thought I'd get out of that portion when him & one of the sons went tonight, but it was sold out. Oh well, I'll keep my end of the bargain anyhow. :)
-
By all means watch a show with them once in a while. Take them out to a nice dinner, Take them to a movie. IT all pays for itself in the end. But if she ever asks you, Honey does this dress make my donut look fat?" I can promise you that is a trick question. The proper answer is NO. Do not let yourself answer off handedly, because you are watching TV, or are just bored from waiting for her to get dressed. When this question Pops its ugly head up DO NOT answer,"Mabey it is not the Dress.", as you half heartedly look up from the newspaper, or your manly paperback, like Aces High, The Mosquito Fleet, or Death Squadron.
-

Be careful, if she says "big" rather than "fat" there is NO right answer! She might want it to look larger, she might not, the only safe escape is to say it looks good. Do NOT specify large or not!

*smile* Tassos. Don't worry - it's all the same around the world with those soap operas. Same show, different language. Your post made me laugh. :)

There is a proper answer! It was the same one my father taught me just before I shipped for Basic. It is "I have no opinion." He told me that just in case I eyeballed a DS and was asked if I thought they looked pretty.
