Speaking only for myself, I see this thread as an entertaining, and maybe even amusing, way to air differences in viewing habits between spouses. Watching or not watching TV need not represent battle lines being drawn. Life is complicated enough. Just sayin'.

No... It's quite possible she agrees with Mr. Zappa. TV is way south of the sun, but just a tiny bit north of Hell.

No problem, Ben. If you've read any of my posts in other threads, you would know that I leverage irony to the nth degree. Doubtless my wife and I are fairly incompatible in our TV viewing habits (thus my playful comments in here), but there are no less than 1 jillion other things I love about...

I was being facetious. She merely believes most TV shows are silly and would rather focus on other things in life. Although wifey doesn't exactly support my viewing habits, she is most encouraging of the commentaries that I post in several threads within the forum---which I couldn't do without...

Ha! I'm staying out of the headphones discussion. My total knowledge of those things could fit in a sewing box thimble and still have room enough for a Tootsie Roll. But then, my brain can sometimes seem so small that it rattles around my skull like a golf ball in a boxcar.

Good luck with that, having recently gone through the process myself. If, by chance, applying for Medicare Part B is on your To Do list, let me warn you first hand that the folks at the SSA have--collectively--the intelligence quotient of highway paint. I could go on riffing over retirement...

As in 'incompatible'?

Sneaky little buzzard, aren't you? For all the misgivings my wife has about watching TV, she's just tickled pink that I spend so much time writing commentaries in threads here. She views it as "positive" energy on my part. I once invited her to read some of my jillion commentaries in the 77...

Krikey, Howie...did I marry your wife's sister? Actually, I can hardly get my wife to watch anything on television as she's pretty sure that it's the instrument of Beelzebub. I can sometimes squeeze out an Agatha Christie Miss Marple movie or a NOVA episode on building pyramids to capture her...
