Remote Tug-o'-War
My husband and I have such different tastes in TV programs, it's no surprise we end up watching very little TV. But seriously, how can I possibily sit still in front of the racing channel watching those noisy little cars go around in circles for hours? How can I bear watching another custom chopper being assembled? How can I sit through another rerun of Midway or D-Day on the History Channel? (Personally, I don't do black and white. It's synonymous for BOORRRRINNNNGGGG.) I Love Lucy is a worthy and notable exception.
Me, I like the light stuff like King of Queens, Seinfeld, Desperate Housewives, Forensic Files, Extreme Plastic Surgery, and Trauma: Life and Death in the ER. I don't understand why Rune doesn't. I mean, just as we get to the good parts like finding a badly decomposed body in a steamer trunk or peeling someone's face off to reconstruct facial bones he actually gets up from the couch and leaves the room (making little gagging sounds caused by something I've yet to comprehend.) By the way,how come they always find "badly decomposed" bodies? Are there any "good" ones? Can't they just say they're ripe?
The good news is that our conflicting tastes translates to less time in front of the boob tube and more time actually talking (yep, you heard me right, folks) with one another. What a concept.
