So, the FW is once again hooked on (sorry for the pun)the “Bachelor” and “American Idol” during the week. She has ultimate control of the remote. (not really) Thank God for the IDO videos to get me thru this very difficult time. 
Anyone else faced with the same fate?
Care to share stories of how you get thru it?
Maybe I should think about eating cookies at Dean’s?
LOL,
Don
I fell your pain. She’s watchin’ right now 
IDO is definitely a saving grace this time of year. 
Mine watches all of that excrement. Luckily she watches it on a different TV. 
Mine’s watching it too. The bad thing is, she’s old enough to know better. I can’t beleive some of the stupid shows people sit on their butts and watch these days.
Don’t know what I’d do if it weren’t for IDO. I really should be tying up some jigs.
IDO, will you please accept this rose? 
My favorite line from the show and you hear it every year, “It’s just so hard to see him go off with other women when I have feelings for him”. Do they not read the rules?
I usually get kicked out of the room after about 10 minutes. She can only take so much of my commentary.
Got mine hooked on the man opera…. American Chopper 
Mine is American Idol. 
She suspends in animation when it comes on. I sometimes will mention she can watch it in our room. But that is only when I want to sleep alone.

Ax Men for me!!!!
As much as I think the show is a joke, my wife is now on the phone with her 92 year old mother talking about what she thought of the show. That part is pretty neat
Just got home from plowing that dam white stuff and mine was right in front of tube watching the same thing… Luckily by the time I got out of the shower it was OVER 
TV’s all mine
Guys….Just take the batteries out of the remote and hide them…then at least she’ll have to get up off her butt once in a while !
I miss Survivorman. Beyond Survival with Les Stroud doesn’t even come close.
Ghost Hunters is good, but Ghost Adventures is horrible.
Anyone seen The Wild Within? That one looks pretty good.
Have you ever been forced to watch “Sister’s”? God help us. My advise would be in the winter to make sure the Men’s Crisis Center (the Garage) is fully equipped with all the lastest technology. Start with a beer fridge. Then upgrade to heat, for the winter, cable or dish TV with a flat screen TV adds to the enjoyment although a nice stereo or music system can work. If that doesn;t work start a new hobby besides fishing that keeps you in the “Crisis Center” for as long as possible. That way when this PUKE comes on TV you always have an out once the center is established. Tonight I shoveled the drive way, as the blower can not make it over 7 foot banks 
. The crap came on and I went out with the TV on and shoveled the 3/8 of an inch that had fallen since I finished. Good luck

I cant believe I am the first one to say this. Get off your butt and hit the ice or something! I would rather sit in my shanty in my garage than watch any of todays garbage TV. With all the outdoor hobbies there are, i see no excuse for having to watch any of those shows.
Yeah, or get a new wife so you don’t have to go out in the cold.
Mine only tortures me with grays anatomy and I don’t pay attention, it’s in the next room.
Who’s complaining? Housewives of ______ rules!

i actually like that these stupid shows are on just about everyday because then i can actually “watch” my tv shows in peace by myself 4 rooms away
They work in the summer as well because then she doesnt complain so much when when you go fishin during the week because shes to preoccupied about what some crazys are doin on tv
Even the wife won’t watch bachelors, but she does watch American Idol, I think she has a chrush on Steven Tyler.
We have two TV’s so the problems solved.
We watch the dysfuntional bunch on American Choppers although its long gone past anything to do with bikes, its the show you hate to watch but can’t stop.
Bring back Biker build off, it at least had people who actually designed and built bikes.
Same for those bozo’s who are panning for gold, they probably have more gold in their teeth than what they’re going to find.
Well, watching some of these reality shows is probably better than painting the bedroom…maybe…

In the history of Idol I haven’t seen 30 minutes. In the history of Bachelor I haven’t watched 30 seconds.
In the history of NCIS I haven’t missed 3 shows. 
She watches her crap, I watch my highly produced, thought out shows, highly educational shows. 
Truth be told I watch more PBS then anything I think.
Between the woman her daughter and I we dont have any problems watching whatever we want when ever we want, we each have our own T.V.
I have my own man cave too, but I also like some snuggle time now and then. 
Single, fish when I want and watch what I want. I also have 2 TV’s just in case of company. No time for Idol, Bachelor or most of the “occupational” reality shows. I feel for anyone who has to watch Anything “With the Stars”.

Living with someone and in the same boat.
Oh yea. Same thing here but we have multiple TV’s so problem solved.
I keep asking if those stupid dating reality shows are so romantic how would she like it if I started dating 20 other women just to make sure I picked the right one
Some reality 
At least we have multiple TV’s…

Good one, but I could see this happening.

Michelle would probably tell me, “Go ahead, you don’t seem to be bothered by me dating 20 other men”. *pause* “Whoops”.
Large amounts of Taco Bell, baked beans and beer. You’ll barely be able to stand to be by yourself.
