TV Shows

I'm very busy and don't get to spend a lot of time at home, so I'm very grateful to the person who invented DVR! It's the only way I get to watch any of my shows because I refuse to be a slave to my shows' schedules.

I like to get lost in someone else's drama for an hour or two a few nights a week, no matter how corny or bizarre it may be. That being said, I do not appreciate it when my husband walks into the room, watches for a few minutes, and can't help but comment on how "dumb" the show is. I know it's dumb. I know it has few redeeming factors. but that doesn't stop me from losing myself in it week after week! In fact, the more episodes I watch of a show, the less I care how dumb it is. I have to stick with it! I have to see what happens to each of the characters.

I'd much rather be watching a fictitious character's drama than be involved in real-life personal drama! So let me be. :)

The best part of it is that C can't NOT finish a show/movie that he starts watching. So because it's always more fun to watch tv with another person (I'm not the only one who likes to make comments and ask questions throughout a show, right?!), I try to turn the tv on while he's still in the room... Then I start telling him what's going on with each character, fill him in on whatever he's missed since the last time I forced him into watching, and by the time I'm done, ba-da-bing, he's hooked! HA! May be a little sneaky... but we've been married almost 3 years, he's not dumb, he knows what's going on and could leave (if I were to shut up long enough for him to leave! ha!).

Even better is that there are a few shows (ahem, Grey's) that he watches with me weekly now. Despite the fact that he still says it's "so ridiculous", he's disappointed if I watch the dvr'd show without him! haha I LOVE it! My evil plan has worked.  I get cheesy tv AND husband-time. Can life get any better?!
