to watch together.. or not
ster:
it seems as though there is no problem whatsoever, as long as we're watching whatever boyfriend wants to watch on tv. the moment he comes upstairs, he completely takes over the remote (code for I AM MAN, I CONTROL BIG SCARY TV!! RAHR!!) and flips. he flips the damn clicker so fast i feel like my eyes are going to explode from channel changing. then he stops on 1 of about 5 shows he wants to watch. i tolerate them, but wouldn't watch them if he wasn't forcing me too. bottom line- we can NEVER watch what i want to watch together.
tonight i was watching grey's anatomy. now this is a show that boyfriend would rather gouge his eyes out, then watch. but for some reason this evening, he was downstairs with me while it was on. imagine my surprise when he sat down on the couch to actually watch it with me. but then i hear him snicker.... AT A GOOD PART. he's over there laughing because he's not emotionally invested in the show like i am so he doesn't care! ARGH! that's when i have to look at him and say things like, "don't laugh! don't make fun! don't say anything.. if you're going to watch it with me, you have to just be quiet!!"
it shouldn't be this difficult. he's just a good tv show hater. and a selfish channel flipper. hmph
point:
Did anyone see that show???? What the fuck is that crap........the dumb biatch was a drowned popsicle for crying out loud. now im not saying that its not medically possible to save someone that drown in cold water....and if i rember correctly it might even be easier.....but nevermind that.....then there is the afterlife shit that was just sooooooo blah. what, there budget so fucking tight that they couldnt make a cloudly background...her afterlife what in a hospital. i mean come on!!! and like they are going to kill off the narrator...
i have given that show 3 or maybe 4 chances and i never fails.....crap, that dipship Mcdreamy is still that nerd in "cant buy me love" and that pizza movie with the "extra anchovies."
now to the shows i watch at night.....yes i am a flicker.....and i know what channels to jump to. you start at to and 3,4,5,7...then you jump to 12,13 (since niether of us know Korean.) then.....14-28 is spanish Cspan and public programming....33, 35-40 (food, fx and sports) normally we stop at food to look at cake making. long story short of the 81 channel i know of the 15 that might have something....i dont know what her problem is.
who doesnt like family guy?

15 Say it:
I agree. How can anyone be dead for 3 hours and come back to life with no effects. This show is getting so unbelievable. I like the show but last nights was too far fetched.
I am a guy. Hear me ROAR!!!! The remote is my wife's and if anyone takes it, they have to answer to
HER!!!!!!!
Don't watch that show. In fact I don't watch many of those shows. We do watch American Idol.....but basically Mike holds the remote. And he flips but not excessivly. And he lets me watch some things I want, and I let him watch some things he wants.
The only time we watch in differant rooms is if the Yankees or the Devils are in the playoffs and the other wants to watch something else....cause hello PLAYOFFS overrule everything!
I am a wife. I own the remote. Hubby hands it to me when I sit down on the couch because he KNOWS he does not surf during commercials as well as I (I don't know where I got the skill, but I can make it back just as the commercial break ends and we miss NONE of Grey's).
Love that show. Point, sorry you are not emotionally invested enough to "get it," but I'm with Jenn -- let her have her moment. Hopefully this show won't jump the shark, I agree it is close.... WTF? Why the hell is Meredith always almost DYING?? The bomb, the appendicitis, and now hypothermia drowning???
Please don't jump the shark, I love this show too much.... please no sharky???
I don't watch that show either but most of the women I know watch it and love it. Key word: women. Just stay away from the TV on Thursday nights and you'll be okay.
Chris and I watch the same shows (mostly) so we don't bicker about TV. But I sometimes go into a rage in the fall when it's nothing but football ALL DAY Saturday and Sunday. And it just makes me sick after awhile and I don't understand how anyone can watch so much of the same thing ALL. DAY. LONG.
I watch the show and last night was the first time that my husband watched it, there was really nothing on tv and he was on his computer, so i asked him do you care what i put on,he said no, as soon as he saw what it was, he was like, you watch this? (he has a no hospital show rule!) anyway i watched it, and he just couldn't care less...
anyway, if you want to be in wedding bliss, invest in a DVR (tivo or whatever you want to call it) until last night my husband had no idea i watched Grey's...
i just recently found "scrubs"
the first hostpital show i like.
I'm with Jen. My husband will sit down and watch it once in a while BUT, if he doesn't like what I'm watching, he will usually go to the bedroom and watch whatever he wants or work on the computer. I own the remote...take some control back Jen!
McDreamy is just HOT! Don't pick!
"Grey's Anatomy"? Ugh. I'm not emotionally invested in any TV shows - but if I were, it certainly wouldn't be that one!
"Family Guy"? Now that's more like it.
Maybe y'all should delete those channels you don't use from your TV programming, then the remote will just skip them completely?
It's a total man-thing, I suppose (rahr!) bc Hubby is The. Ultimate. Channel-Flipper! and it drives me absolutely nuts! But in no way does he have the channels memorized the way Point does - Kudos to you, Dude! One thing Hubby does respect is the emotional investment. If you're not vested the rule is sit & shut-up, or get the hell out!!!
emotionally invested?!!!!!
it was a joke....i was waiting for Leslie Neilson to pop out as a specail guest......
ive gave to show a shot multiple times.....sorry i dont know how to polish a turd or candycoat diahrea.....that show is fucking lame and that plot was pathetically over dramatic!
I'm with you Point. Scrubs is as far as I'll go.
My husband and I usually watch the same TV, even though I really can't stand anything that is on nowadays. But anyway, I can't stand when he starts laughing or commenting during the emotional parts. What is it with guys and totally ruining the "moment"?
Oh hell...if I'm cheating, I'm going with McSteamy no question! If it's a fling, I want dirty, NOT tender sweet talk. I'm just sayin...
We have TIVO and my husband would rather download music on the internet than watch TV anyway.
He has more problem fighting for TV with our 4 year old daughter...her shows are on the same time as the backyard mechanic crap he watches. (Oh, and our girl always wins - GIRL POWER!)
Wow, I am glad that Jason and I like the same shows! The shows that we refuse to watch, we record on the DVR and watch when the other is not around.
OMG lover boy !!!i like that movie i didnt know that was him
