I don't watch the reality shows at all.......I find them irritating....(like an itch you can't scratch)......hubby watches those avidly too.

Am I one of the few that actually watches a programme because I am interested in it and when the programme has ended I will go and do something else. Personally I've always thought TV has too much of a hold on people and never allowed it to be on during the day except for Saturdays sport. I would much rather have the radio on or listen to music than sit watching a box in the corner.

Yes, I did and still do watch rubbish, but now seven years after the silly girl has left me I can honestly say, I don't watch her weekly or omnibus rubbish, I hardly watch any Sci-Fi, because now I can choose, I usually watch factual programmes, they weren't even allowed as a choice!

Thank goodness for sanity and no more female logic!

P.S. How come you had to ask him? Shouldn't you have been telling him what to watch?
