I'm lucky i think - Mrs used to watch X-factor and strictly, but i've successfully weened her of it
Erm..... why would you do that? Time she's spent in front of that stuff = more time that i don't have to discuss soft furnishings or what school mum A said to school mum B about school mum C, and can waste my life on here or in the garage?
And Strictly's great, btw.
Timidwheeler - sounds like my kind of tv 😀
2nd Telly.. Problem solved..
I tune out most of the stuff mrs nano watches as I'm sure she does when I'm watching a doc although she has made the odd foray into what she would see as the darkside:
Always used to enjoy watching 'overhaulin'' on discovery with Chip Foose. When we were on honeymoon even she got excited about heading down to his workshop..
Does it really mater?
The missus watches "crap factor", "Britain has very little talent" and "Help my broadcast media career should have ended but my agent thought I should humiliate myself one last time."
My running joke is to ask when the executions start. Then I go play in the garage or go for a night ride I'm not compelled to watch it.
TBF She lets me watch stuff she's not into and some stuff we both like I'd imagine having some sort of stepford wife who liked exactly the same things would be pretty dull after a while. Vive la difference and all that...
I do quite like Top Gear.

I don't remember watching that one.
Was it on a video?
Vis-a-vis sofa in the middle of the room, TV at either end.
Inspector Montelbano anyone?... 🙁 it's like a cross between morse, frost and benny hill... In Italian 😐 with the funny bits removed and plinky plonky background music..
Somewhere there are lots of women complaining about all the time their blokes spend playing computer games...
At the end of the day, if it makes you feel all high and mighty and like a superior person by being derogatory about something that the person you purport to love finds enjoyable then you crack on...

I think perhaps you could be taking this a tad too seriously...Xfactor fan perchance? 😉
Strictly's not crap.
My SO is unfortunately going deaf and has been since being young so she wins sympathy votes but then loses them by watching all these shite prorammes with the sub titles on and the volume at Spinal Tap levels. She says it helps her to read the subtitles??!!??
The real clincher is her watching The Killing in the same mode. I have pointed out she doesn't speak Danish and however loud it is she still won't understand Danish. All I get is abuse and a headache from the telly being so loud.
I guess I'm quite lucky. The OH and I both prefer documentaries, and both agree that there is no such thing as "too much David Attenborough" 😀
My mrs has the same taste in tv as me,i.e. it's all trash
most nights it stays off,really only use it for watching dvd's
and now with Kate being up the duff that's all your gonna about
for months
there is no such thing as "too much David Attenborough

I could do without the missus's's' guilty pleasure that is Gossip Girl. At least she admits that its vacuous shite and tonight being Monday means snuggling up in bed with the laptop to watch Homeland and the Walking dead 😀
Not on my TV you're not.
You do realise you can choose the picture that show on it don't you?
Getting the 'spend some time with me' calls from the lounge
I used to get that.
