I'll Take Door Number 3!

Jen and I are both big television fans. We're not couch potatoes, but we do have certain shows we never miss (like LOST and Nip/Tuck) and we both like to channel surf as a way to relax and unwind at the end of the day. And we tend to like the same kinds of shows, which is great. A lot of couples butt heads over what to watch.

The only thing that gets to me is that Jen, in typical ADD fashion, goes through television viewing phases. For example, she used to really like shows about home renovation. I got into them, too, because she always had on HGTV.

But then she lost interest (as ADDers do) in the home shows and started watching cooking. Still fine by me. I don't cook, but I like to admire the process from a distance.

Then she moved from cooking to gardening. Then from gardening to travel. From travel, she went to science, then to crime, and now she's into game shows.

Game shows.

I have no problem with game shows, as long as they're not those awful ones on weeknights like Deal or No Deal or Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader. I like the old game shows that air on GSN, the ones from the 70's and 80's like Card Sharks and Tic Tac Dough. Anything with polyester suits. And luckily, those are the ones Jen is into right now.

But I know it's only a matter of time before she pulls the rug out from under me and moves onto another genre! It's so unfair. I get used to watching something, and then it's "Oh I don't care about that show anymore. What else is on?"

I'm happy with the way things are right now. I don't want her to get bored of old game shows and move on to something awful like Sex and the City reruns. Then I'll be forced to find a new way to relax!
