<p>That's a little unfair. I am hardly alone in that.<br>

<p> </p>
<p>Unfair? Are you suggesting that this accusation is negative? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Before I'd watched this, I'd agree with you on McCarthy. But her delivery of the lines when she's the "bodyguard" is top comedic value!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bones - yeah, she's in it - bit part character really. McCarthy dominates and Byrne is also a major, but she's nowhere near as memorable as Statham.</p> -
<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Greys Anatomy is another one. That show makes me go postal.</p> -
<p>fuuuuuck the Gilmore Girls. Fuck it right in the ear. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope for their sake those bitches got paid by the word. </p> -
<p>Mother's Day. I hate to speak ill of the dead, but Garry Marshall, give yourself a Creed uppercut. That was horrendous.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Awful script, awful characters (including the worst, unfunny racist redneck parents/Indian son in law shit you can imagine.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you truly hate yourself, or your mother, or want a girl to break up with you to save trouble, buy/stream this movie. (There is some decent cleavage from Shay Mitchell)</p> -

<p>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 fiancés 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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is great finding a show you're both into and despite the above her and I did enjoy some good stuff.</p> -
<p>To be sexist for a minute, chicks on the whole tend to watch extremely shit TV.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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.</p> -

<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My fiancée 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 ).</p> -

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

<p>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.</p>

<p>while i have never watched it, the entire concept astounds me. </p>

<p>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. </p> -

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

<p><em>The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So we saw this instead, and I regret none of it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Loved the scenery. The acting was great. The zone-out scenes were funny as, and the whole family loved it.</p>

<p>Sounds like I better watch it, based on my decisions over the last week...</p> -

<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>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.</p> -

<p>After seeing that, would gay people even want to get married?</p>
