For a number of years I was subjected to the abomination that was the Gilmore Girls so McCarthy is high on my people to kill list.
 
You have to give her credit for becoming a major star though. Watching that appalling show, you would never have imagined what she would become. Fark, I just want to smash a window when I think about that show. It was at that time when you want to spend quality time together after babies come around and of course before I was able to stream videos on the laptop.
 
Greys Anatomy is another one. That show makes me go postal.

Word to that brother. Went to visit the ex and the boys the other day and she was sitting on the couch binge watching that shit. I laughed and said "( exes fiancÃ©s name ), how the fuck are you sitting through this shit, I had years of it !" he replied "Well ( exes name ) has had a tough week, it's nice for her to relax and watch it". It absolutely amazes me how many TV shows are set in and around hospitals, the only one I've ever enjoyed is Scrubs ( that was some class comedy ) ER and Chicago Hope were just before it and then there's our very own Shithead Street which is still going.
 
It is great finding a show you're both into and despite the above her and I did enjoy some good stuff.

To be sexist for a minute, chicks on the whole tend to watch extremely shit TV.
 
I've managed to find a bit of sort of common ground (think no mans land between North and South Korea) with some reality shows - masterchef, grand designs etc, but it's very limited.

Ex and I found common ground in quite a few "reality" shows. We both loved Ramsay and cooking shows in general and she got me into Desperate Housewives and Devious Maids.
 
My fiancÃ©e and I have found heaps of common ground in GOT, Banshee, Suits, Outlander, American Horror Story and Penny Dreadful but try as I have I can't get into Vikings for whatever reason ( I genuinely do not give a fuck about a single character and I just about got through the whole of the first season ).

Your ex is now a fur trader? Any signs when you were together?

Actually, I forgot about 2 major middle grounds - Game of Thrones and Modern Family. When it's between seasons on these, it's struggle street.

jesus, jegga, we get it. You're the man of the house, and the only thing on the TV is what you want to watch. Every day is the Stepford Wives in castle Jegga.
 
We're all very proud of you. Well done.

while i have never watched it, the entire concept astounds me. 
 
And (rampant leftie opinion alert) that a country can be okay with 2 people who have never met getting married so they can be on TV, as long as one is male, and one is female. But 2 people of the same sex who love each other? Fuck no, that destroys the sanctity of marriage.

It's pretty funny to watch ( while doing internet shit) 
The Aussie one recently aired had some funny set ups 
Currently it's the yanks turn to show everyone how batshit crazy marriage is ( well between strangers anyway)

I watched the last episode of the Aussie one and it was awesomely bad. The drunk blonde chick was the star I reckon, she's an uber driver now. They didn't actually get married though, it was a commitment ceremony .

The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty
 
Family movie night on Saturday, and the kids have already seen anything animated worth watching. As Little Miss the Aussie is only 8, Batman vs Superman was off the table.
 
So we saw this instead, and I regret none of it.
 
What a fucking excellent film. What a wonderful statement to a guy like me, in his 40s now, and wondering what the fuck he's doing with his life. 
 
Loved the scenery. The acting was great. The zone-out scenes were funny as, and the whole family loved it.
 
5 out of 5 middle-aged men who woke up to the banality of their lives and did something about it.

Sounds like I better watch it, based on my decisions over the last week...

There were a few good ones. She got me into ER, Weeds, Orange is the New Black (1st series, rest is utter shart) and.... that's it I think. Oh, we also used to binge watch Storage Wars together. That show was addictive for a few months.
 
 
Now that we have a decent amount of space, we very rarely watch any TV together. I sit there watching and paying out on the horrendous shit that is Greys Anatomy, Heart of Dixie or whatever other puerile dross she watches until she politely tells me to fuck off. Which I do, and when she's finished I can finally watch something with zombies or medieval knights. Generally I just get some work done while she's watching that garbage. At least one of us can do something productive.

After seeing that, would gay people even want to get married?

That sounds the same as our house. In the early days she invited me to join her watching Gilmore girls which Id never heard of . I pointed out the mother was in Bad Santa and had a good laugh telling her about the scene where she's fucking billy bob on the front seat of a car screaming " fuck me Santa" . I think that was the first time I got " the look " from her, turned out Gilmore girls is her all time favourite show and she has them all on DVD and refuses to acknowledge the existence of Bad Santa. She's very rarely invited me to watch her excreble choices since , dodged bullets so far include covert affairs, greys anatomy , heart of Dixie all the Khardashian variants and every season of the bachelor . 
Does your mrs watch girls?

Billy Bob says in his book people tell him they watch every Xmas as a family and always says " you let your kids watch bad Santa?". One of my favourites too, he plays such a great sleazy prick in that film.

The late Bernie Mac and John Ritter are great in that ( especially the former ).
 
In amongst so many highlights I think my favourite bit is when BBT beats the shit out of the skater kid who is picking on Thurman Murman.

BBT and Ritter worked together on his first real acting gig which was a show called Evening shade. BBT thought Ritter was a really underrated actor and was his mate as well so cast him in Sling blade too.

At least TR should be able to put the toys back in the cot now we're talking movies.
 
BBTs best performance is in that fucken weird Oliver Stone movie "U Turn" starring Sean Penn. Interestingly enough that is a real town, Superior, Arizona although any town that it is Superior too must be one hell of a shithole.
