I get what you're getting at, but if liking different TV shows is all it takes to get your spouse sleeping around, the basis of your relationship probably isn't all that strong in the first place.Someone else posted a very sad tale about his wife cheating......Would you prefer your wife watch those shows with some one else? So stop complaining,
your wife is there with you.... grab your laptop and surf the internet while the shows you hate are on, then go to bed with her and tell her how much you appreciate her putting up with the things you do......be thankful, not resentful.
I'm not trying to be a one-upper, but here's our list:American Idol, Married at First Site, Supergirl, CSI ..... The list goes on and on. She's a wonderful mother and as wife's go she is very accepting of my brewing hobby but for the love of 1020p HD her idea of good tv just sucks.
The History Channel is no longer about history.Anyone catch that new show out on the "Science" channel? I tuned in last night as I was just about to stop watching TV. The show basically takes satellite images that are pretty ambiguous and tries to spin them so they appear to be something "amazing". They have random pseudo-experts give statements that support the theory, or at least lend credence to it, without actually making any such bold claim.
It's like "Ghost Hunters" but with satellite imagery. Here is a sample of what some so-called "expert might say about a satellite image:
"That's just GOTTA be his body buried right there under everyone's noses!"
or
"Of course 'some people' don't want the public to know about it."
Is this what the Science Channel is all about? There's a satellite image of some trenches in the Brazilian Jungle, and that's "pretty much definitive proof" that El Dorando, the famed city of gold, was located right there?
I don't mind Dramas (I watch/watched TWD, Breaking Bad, Dexter, etc. and consider them all dramas), but I can't stand melodrama: love triangles and soap-opera-y BS.My wife likes those "Dramas". I don't. I don't care to watch any drama based on:
Courts
Cops
Hospital
Rich People
etc
ad nuseaum
Well, have you seen what "The Learning Channel" has come to in the last 10 years? How many people remember when it actually was The Learning Channel?Is this what the Science Channel is all about?

I used to love The League up until the final season, it was awful. Every other season though... my fantasy league even had our own shiva trophy made haha.I'm not trying to be a one-upper, but here's our list:
My Wife's: American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars, Galavant, X-Factor, The Voice, Supergirl, Outlander.
Mine: COPS, Jail, Border Security, The League, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, any UFC/Bellator, Mayday, How it's Made, Hell's Kitchen, Catch a Contractor, Bar Rescue, Naked and Afraid.
Joint: Castle, The Simpsons, Brooklyn 99, Big Bang Theory, The Biggest Loser, Making a Murderer (finished last night), Suits, Survivor, Last Man on Earth, Game of Thrones, The Blacklist, Marvel's Agents of Shield, The Expanse, SNL, Sherlock.
Huh. I never realized, I guess we watch quite a bit of TV. Can you tell we don't have kids?
Conspicuously absent: Any sports. At all. OK, we're going to watch the Superbowl, but that's literally it. Unless you count the MMA stuff.
Oh come on, that's a little harsh, isn't it? It's a cute, harmless diversion. It's one of the few shows my wife and I can watch together.big bang theory is an abomination and needs to be stomped out.
big bang theory is an abomination and needs to be stomped out. it has the most painful, intrusive laugh track ive ever heard. i wouldnt be surprised if the actors are now trained to pause for a laugh break after every sentence in real life. most shows i can stand being on in the background if im not watching. i need to leave the room when it comes on if i dont have control of the tv
We're getting there... Modern Family, The Office, The League, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Children's Hospital, Brooklyn 99, Last Man on Earth....We need to move on from the laugh track as a society.
But, but, but then how will I know when I'm supposed to laugh?We need to move on from the laugh track as a society.

How will I know when something funny has been said?
That sounds like spending time around real people.When the other people in the room with you laugh!
Duh!
Usually theres a crudely drawn stick figure next to itBut, but, but then how will I know when I'm supposed to laugh?

Sorry, learning doesn't have mass-market appeal. This is America.Well, have you seen what "The Learning Channel" has come to in the last 10 years? How many people remember when it actually was The Learning Channel?
Too true.Sorry, learning doesn't have mass-market appeal. This is America.
those are all what are called One-Camera sitcoms, as compared to BBT, Dr Ken and others, which are Multi-Camera sitcoms and sometimes (used to) have a live studio audience or a laugh trackWe're getting there... Modern Family, The Office, The League, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Children's Hospital, Brooklyn 99, Last Man on Earth....
I'd say we're well past the tipping point where there are more comedies without laugh tracks than with.
ftfy.sorry, learning doesn't have mass-market appeal. This is america. [laugh]*polite applause*[/laugh]
Does nobody else know the struggle that is HGTV? Am I the only one sitting through what seems to be the same episode of "Flip or Flop" on a nightly basis?

I've been saying for years that sarcastic statements should be bracketed by carat marks. As so:I'm still waiting on a sarcasm punctuation mark.
My mother's the one who's been on an HGTV kick the past year or two. Lots of Love it or List it and the Property Brothers. It's fine when visiting for a long weekend once or twice a year.anything but Love it or List it.
those 2 are so frikkin annoying
^Oh, that will take off like WILDFIRE!^I've been saying for years that sarcastic statements should be bracketed by carat marks. As so:
^oh yeah, A1 sauce in a stout sounds like an amazing idea!^
