[Closed] Wife's TV choices!

Just wait till she starts watching the spoiled rich bitches (well rich at their former husbands expense for the most part) "Housewives of" and gets ideas, bottom of the barrel TV of the very worst kind.

You need a new wife mate .If it gets to "The only way is Essex" file for divorce

Patio?

Just remember her taste extends to you. 😕

Don't diss the intelligence of the woman who married you!

I was very disappointed the first time the wife said she wanted to watch Four in a Bed.....

I've never seen Made in Chelsea... But I've looked at many pictures of Lucy on Google images 😉

[s]I quite like Made In Chelsea[/s] My Mrs watches that shite too, although Stephanie Pratt make my groin twinge (quite ironic as she's from America).

Nothing is worse than those awful Yanks on Dance Moms, I point blank refuse to have it on when I'm around. Horrible people.

You're not alone. Mine watches bloody Hollyoaks when I'm at the gym.

Gogglebox 😥

I'm glad i control the telly in our house.

I was going to say something really smart and clever, but I'm currently obsessed with Big Giant Swords.

Other half favors two channels, TLC (Total Load of Crap) and Really (as in 'are you really watching that?'). I haven't married her.

My Mrs likes to watch How I Met Your Mother, Call the Midwife and Strictly Danceballs.

I like to watch films with Jason Statham in them and skateboarding documentaries.

I'm not sure who should be getting rid of whom...

Is it me? Freeview has taken a real dive in the last few weeks. Its gone from 'always something on if you look' to absolutely dross/all constant repeats or stuff you wouldn't stay on.

So I'll probably stick with films 🙁

We watched Horizon on Black Holes last night. Together.

[i]Together.[/i]

Don't you mean 'Togeverrrr', slowoldman?

I can't remember watching anything togever for ages...I sit in the 'Sky Room' and watch sport. (probably not ideal, but Made in Chelsea...never!)

We've reached a sort of equilibrium in our house, East Enders and Emerdale Farm have gone, so has Holyoaks, but I've started to enjoy Holby, will tolerate The Voice and Take Me Out providing 1) I had a drink 2) we drop the voice after the chair spinning bit and the contestants don't do too much "I'm doing it for me Nan" or tear the arse out of a beloved singer like Stevie Wonder, honestly, don't try to cover Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Nina Simone, Freddie Mercury, Roy Orbison or Christina Aguilera you'll just sound shit, Cover someone who writes great songs, but isn't perhaps the most technically gifted singer.

Anyway in return She tolerates Gold Rush with some humour, and plays with her phone through Wheeler Dealers and moans through Fast n' Loud.

Most others things we equally enjoy.

My wife has an eclectic taste. Documentaries on Russian history and polar exploration and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She also likes pov-shaming stuff like Skint. In return I get to watch five minutes of man-shite like Deadliest Catch before she asks if anything decent is on.

The only crossover at the moment is Impractical Jokers, which is just fine telly.

Oh, and she liked Fargo and Fortitude, so she's got a free pass for some of her stuff.

I've started to enjoy Holby, will tolerate The Voice and Take Me Out

You're stuffed, mate.

One of the joys of living alone 😀

Last night Super Rugby, then... I didn't did I? I did, I watched "The Affair" 😆

Big giant swords is awesome (in a what the f way, but compelling)

ITV Be seems to be the channel of choice, so Dinner Date and Millionaire Matchmaker are frequently viewed and actually enjoyed by both of us. I do however refuse to entertain the prospect of anything with "The Only Way Is" or "Made In" in the title.

I have introduced her to Game of Thrones though, which we have started at the beginning, which she tolerates/enjoys/flinches at the gore 🙂

Cheers, Rich

I also find it a bit uncomfortable as he has about as little business sense as me 😉

(probably a lot more than me, as he's the one with a TV series)

I'm convinced that if everyone in the country was made to watch an episode of Made in Chelsea simultaneously, we'd have a revolution within seconds. The 'cast' would be having their freshly severed heads paraded through the streets, on spikes, in no time.

Have any of you got Netflix? Be warned: once she starts trawling through the crap on their, you'll see stuff that makes Made in Chelsea look like a Mike Leigh film.

Oooh I hope hubby sees this thread. He may well change his mind about the rubbish I watch ( I think my choices are sane and normal) after reading the above lists.

I've never heard of some of these programmes 🙂

Is there not a way that Made in Chelsea and Big giant swords could be turned in to one show ?

[i]I have never watched these shows ,but i feel it could work.
[/i]

Its only a TV show. There could be so many things that you both might not like in each other but that doesn't mean people of different taste can't live together.

How wrong can you be!?!

Indeed Binners.
I often wonder who does the star rating on Netflix 🙄
The films I don't recognise now get checked against IMDb before pressing play 😉

I've just started watching Big Giant Swords, I think I was taken by the quote in the trailer that a good week is represented by "Nobody dying in the shop".

Must admit Discovery, for all of it's sins, is my most watched set of channels aside from sports!

Another good one was, when asked what his favourite part was, he replied "the part where the customer gives me the money and goes away" 😉

I tried that sword show, but couldn't get into it, despite it being the usual type of garbage I watch 🙂

I think it's the whole sword thing, they just look bobbins

I'd watch Big Giant Swords In Chelsea,especially if they tested them on the cast of made in chelsea 😯

I'm partial to a bit of dinner date if im honest.

We are currently rewatching Quantum Leap. Love it! So far I have remembered nothing from when I saw it as a wean.

[i]I've never heard of some of these programmes [/i]

Hey Bunnyhop...if you're going to watch anything, take a gander at Millionaire Matchmaker on ITV be. Once you start to watch (open mouthed), its difficult to drag yourself away.

Truly America at its worst...

I could cope with Dinner Date, struggled with four in a bed and coach trip, was incredulous at Millionaire Matchmaker, but after coming in from a ride tonight, she was only watching Made in Chelsea!

FFS....I thought I'd married an intelligent Woman!

Am I unusual?

You could be describing my Marriage there, also beware of "TOWIE" and the numerous televised "Talent" shows running between now and the end of time...

The other night though she said [i]"I'm actually a bit bored of Telly now"[/i] and she started reading a book... 45 minutes later she was asleep on the sofa... Bless.

Occasionally I catch my missus watching Eastenders. 😕
She's also addicted to the Good Wife& bloody Downton....
However ,She does have to put up with terrible action/scifi films ,Time Team & never ending "you've been framed" repeats. 😀

Wife's TV choices!

I once watched sex in the city with mrshora. In the episode the dirty blonde one pulled a bloke, ****ed him on the bonnet of his (or her) car then she went to a bar and pulled/shagged the barman.

I turned to her and said 'I hope you don't think this is what empowering/enlightning what females should be doing'

I also said -is it always like this? 'pretty much' 😯

Me - Downton Abbey, property programmes and anything with nature/history. Him - Rugby League, scary/scifi/violent films and you've been framed repeats.

Me and Mrs Grips usually only watch superhero series together. And the odd supernatural type thing, but only if it's a bit oddball. When I'm away she watches more fantasty orientated stuff like Grim.

Me and the Mrs watch the news (occasionally), the DH highlights (time zone has prevented watching it live mostly) and a film once in a while. She's a keeper.
