I HATE the TV shows my wife watches

[slym2none]

HGTV is the worst network on television. Since I finally got cable and my wife discovered those shows, I have not had a free weekend it is always "oh I seen this on HGTV we should do it, I already got everything for you to do it this weekend"

Well, use the same tactic on her. Only, referencing porn.

Win/win?

who mentioned Dogfight? that was a great show. they should do the same thing for tank and sea battles

*raises hand*

They actually did something similar with both land & sea battles, but it didn't last but one season. It was called "Battle 360°", and only had 10 episodes.

Sorry, learning doesn't have mass-market appeal. This is America.

I'm stealing that line. Thanks for that.

I've been with mine SWWBO since 84. I use to work nights so could never get in to watching TV series. Now I'm working days and it's still hard to sit and watch a series but there are a few I like. When she gets home I just let her watch what she wants. Some stuff is that dumb stuff that others have mentioned. But, If I like it I'll watch it if I don't I go to my soon to be Man Cave Brewery that I'm working on and watch something else or work on a project. This works for us.

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?

My wife has become an HGTV addict. She doesn't like "Flip or Flop", mainly because the woman seems really fake. But she loves Fixer Upper.

Since she started watching a ton of HGTV, it seems like every few days we have something new to do around the house. The house looks a lot nicer now, but I hate getting a text at 4 PM saying "leave early, by 5 PM. You need to put up shelves tonight".

As soon as I saw a YouTube link, I knew it had to be The Simpsons!

Drinking game: When watching House Hunters, drink every time someone says "TURN KEY". I don't know why, but that phrase just makes me cringe every time I hear it. Especially when it's the same stupid lady using it to describe every aspect of a house.

Drinking games are the only way I make it through most HGTV shows.

Drink when:
-- The word "space" is used
-- A rich woman (usually) is unsatisfied with how the work is coming along
-- There's a conversation on speakerphone
Finish your drink when:
-- The crew finds serious structural/water damage that needs to be fixed and puts them way over budget

You can get drunk real quick if you take a slug every time someone says "Awesome! ".

Drink any time any one says granite or entertaining.

Finish your drink any time they are used in the same sentence.

Drink any time someone refers to a design element making anything "POP"

we watch equally crap TV, just different flavors. can't judge

 

[eadavis80]

I hardly watch TV once football is over. I do watch golf. The only show we both watch is BBT. Basically when she watches TV, it's time to fire up the Playstation 3.

Came home from work and swmbo was watching duck dynasty. God I love that woman.

Ugh, wifie watching live version of Grease on Fox.

 

[BreezyBrew]

Wife watches that reality crap and that's pretty much it. It's ok once in a while but when they all have spin offs and what not, it's impossible to keep up. Wife will even watch reality TV first thing in the morning. Is it really necessary to wake up to ppl arguing over something ridiculous?

...the Oscar's...ugh...shoot me

 

[slym2none]

The Oscar is what?

...the Oscar's...ugh...shoot me

Same here. I'd rather peel my face off with a butter knife than watch this crap. So I'm attempting to drown my sorrows and will make grilling chicken the most interesting thing I can imagine while trying to ignore how inane this awards show is.

My wife knows better than to watch stupid **** while I'm home. She admits a lot of her shows are bad. For the most part we agree, that's why we're married I guess.

I'll not be kissing her ass to let her watch whatever in the hell she wants, whenever she wants, learned that lesson from my first marriage. In other words, I didn't watch TV for years and then she left me!

I have no idea what most of you are talking about, except for the topic with the words "TV Shows".

I'm not a TV person, and I've never heard of most of that stuff.

We have a TV, but we don't usually turn it on. I have heard of American Idol, but not much of the rest of that stuff. One of my friends mentioned something about Breaking Bad a few years ago, I do remember that (but haven't ever seen it).

I must be missing out, but from the tone of this thread, maybe not!

If you haven't watched breaking bad you have been missing out.

Outside of Netflix we don't watch much tv but my wife likes the award shows.

I have a wife that watches more of my bad shows than I of hers. Time to watch Black Sails..

 

[Moose_MI]

I must apologize to the forum for starting this thread. I forgot my wife loves March Madness. She is the best thing that has happened to me since CO2.
