Not everyone watches TV at night. I WAS one of those until the last few years when I discovered I had to find something my husband and I could do together that didn't require much effort or conversation. Anyone who knows my hubby, knows he loves TV and is not much on conversation. And...I wanted something that was easy and didn't take much effort...thus TV time was selected as our time together.
Of course, Clay, being a man, has to control the remote. Guess that's a man thing. He flips from channel to channel constantly, watching 3 or 4 shows at a time. Now that's not the way I like to watch TV so we agreed we would select one or two shows a night that we could enjoy together and I'd have the remote control during that time, if needed.
Through the years, we have agreed on several shows. Our number one pick is '24' with Keifer Sutherland. On Monday nights when it is on, I will not answer the phone or leave the TV unless the house is on fire. We love that show so much. What I like about it is the action....there's so much action and excitement that I get hyperactive just watching it. And....what is scary is that this kind of terrorism probably goes on all the time and we just don't find out about it. I guess Jack Bauer (Keifer) is always working on keeping us safe.... Can't wait for the new season to begin in January.
We also like these shows: Survivor, LOST, Jericho, Prison Break, Big Brother (yes we like reality shows), CSI, Law and Order.....Clay watches all of them. Then we eat every evening while watching Wheel of Fortune...now that's telling my age.
We enjoy this lifestyle so I guess it's okay. We use the TV shows as topics for conversations. My husband laughs at me because I take these shows seriously, like I am there or know the people. I get involved. I used to think TV was a waste of time, but know I see it as bonding time with my favorite friend, my husband.
Now Active Rain members....what are your favorite TV shows? Surely some of you watch TV.
I am more of a movie fan myself.. I don't even know why we subscribe to TV sometimes.
OY YEAH... stupid shows like dirty jobs and that one where they blow up things... Mythbusters? bleck! lol
Anywho my hubby and I don't watch the same shows unless its CSI or a good Indie film on IFC (which by the way shocked me that he likes that channel 8-P)
I like to catch up on Will & Grace reruns and shows like Most Evil... but I mostly watch movies if I'm going to watch anything :-)
