If there is a game of any sort on, he goes downstairs to the living room to watch and lets me blog and watch what I want... when I'm done I go down and wake him up....<br/><br/>we return unwatched movies to netflix all the time too...

We are so far superior in every way ;)<br/><br/>City, eww- COPS is even worse!<br/><br/>Veggie, I do love me some Gilmore Girls, but only in small doses.<br/><br/>Miss Pro- crap is in the eye of the beholder. My favorites are Ghost Whisperer and Top Chef. Don't judge me. ;)<br/><br/>Julie,<br/>I do want to, but there are two issues with that. 1. We'd barely see each other, and 2. The bedroom TV is wall mounted and I hate to junk up the wall with cords. So I will keep bitching. ;)<br/><br/>Stephanie, <br/>If I were single, I'd map out my TV watching weekly and plan ahead! Let's hope I never am single again.<br/><br/>Texan,<br/>I could never get rid of the cable, but you are right about the Netflix. Problem is I have the 4.99$ membership. I cancel it and then, inevitably, we both want a movie and have to schelp to Blockbuster. Thanks, Smith Girl!

City, eww- COPS is even worse!

Veggie, I do love me some Gilmore Girls, but only in small doses.

Julie,
I do want to, but there are two issues with that. 1. We'd barely see each other, and 2. The bedroom TV is wall mounted and I hate to junk up the wall with cords. So I will keep bitching. ;)

Stephanie,
If I were single, I'd map out my TV watching weekly and plan ahead! Let's hope I never am single again.

Texan,
I could never get rid of the cable, but you are right about the Netflix. Problem is I have the 4.99$ membership. I cancel it and then, inevitably, we both want a movie and have to schelp to Blockbuster.

You don't need both. You probably think you do, but try living without one or the other for 6 months and see if you miss it enough to sign up again. You will save some bucks too! Hope that doesn't sound too preachy. okay you will probably hate this answer, but I say, get rid of either Netflix or the cable. You don’t need both.

My husband can not watch reality tv, yet he can watch nascar all day. What I want to watch is crap compared to what he likes. So what if I like reality tv drama?

Sometimes it's just worth it to stick with The Wild One watching "Gilmore Girls" re-runs for the umpteenth time 'til he gets the hint and "retires" to the basement. But that doesn't always work, 'cause TWW sometimes won't cooperate with the remote, either! BTW, Uncle Lynn launched another Great Pop'rs Giveaway today. Please stop in and Check. It. Out.

Laughing so hard! What is it about husbands that makes them do this? It sounds like you've been spying into our living room each night. Only we don't land on HGTV nearly as often as COPS. But other than that, it's almost exactly the same. Hee hee! Can’t breathe! Laughing so hard! What is it about husbands that makes them do this?
