Feh. Movies.

What I do during really awful shows is just play MST3K. It doesn't take long before the wife sends me off to go do something else. Sometimes she even forbids me to watch shows with her!

^^^^ This.

Talking back to the TV is the quickest way I've found to be excused from lousy TV/movies. And the best part is that you can't be accused of not paying attention.

The wife insisted I sit with her last night and watch "This is 40"...Problem is, it goes on forever...

There's your problem right there: you watched a Judd Apatow movie. If you try and watch "Knocked up" you'll realize the problem is with Apatow and not with you
