Did hate Evangelion. Her opinion matters little, now.

First sign she was bad news.

We don't watch TV (don't even have one), but if we did we'd watch pretty much the same stuff.

O'Reilly's odious on radio, too; the moment that self-promoting blowhard shill hits the air, I hit the switch.

What's with the OC? Every time I see a commercial for it it's either some guy being surly or some chick taking her top off.

Is surliness really all that attractive? And are they trying to trick people? They know that if they actually show a booby they have to pay the FCC $500,000 per nipple, so why even advertise it?

WTF?

(Charmed shows nipples, but through clothing. It must be very cold in that studio.)

my gf won't even come over if i am watching nascar.

No there is basically 1% nudity of all time on the show, and thats just a recent development.

I dont know why I cant help watch the show either.   I think its actually got decent actors in it and characters I like watching.

My wife doesn't like the Simpsons or Southpark.

No..Life was never like that, ever.
LW was a characature when his show was brand spanking new. All part of the fantasy world middle class whites lived in back then while the coloreds stayed in their ghettos, the queers stayed in their closets and every woman knew her place and loved it there.
LW is symbolic of the fantasy world that never existed that today's conservatives yearn for so badly.

No, no, no! Lawrence Welk made Leslie Uggams a star! He started the civil rights movement. I remember as if it was yesterday.

There was no closet for queers back then, because there were only two kinds of people: talented and not so talented. Liberace came on right after Lawrence Welk. Everyone knew about talented Liberace and his husband George, and it didn't matter. And he was welcome in any church because he was talented.

And the women did love their places and their dresses with the little waists because girdles did their jobs and food had no calories back then. 

I want that world back! And I'm a liberal. And it was a world where liberal wasn't a dirty word.

/sets up a Tivo season pass

What little TV I watch usually centers around the Fox Sunday Night programming (Simpsons, King of the Hill, Arrested Development) and sports broadcasts (football, basketball), which my wife likes as well. However, she leaves the room when I watch pro wrestling.

I in turn despise her reality shows. And believe me, she watches all of them. The one I hate the most is American Idol. My loathing of that show, with its constant parading of mediocre wedding singers, knows no bounds.

I used to hate her watching Charmed, but the ever-present nipple pokies make me tolerate it for a few minutes at a time.

We pretty much watch the same shows. I really can't think of any shows that she watches that I find I have to leave the room. I guess I'm lucky that way.

She can't stand NCIS. I'm not sure why I can because when I step back and look at it, I'm pretty embarrassed. It is so mindless. The acting is unbelievably irritating, and the storylines are usually just silly, but you can bet I watch every episode.

I watch american chopper and she watches the newleyweds

My GF doesn't like that I watch Veronica Mars. She thinks it's because I have a crush on the star of the show, Kristen Bell. I don't -- really, I don't!
