24, Grey's Anatomy, or Desperate Housewives??

My wife always wants to do the deed after watching McDreamy.

I forgot to add one more thing, from a female perspective, maybe she would let you off the hook for all of next year, if you agree to watch the Dancing with the Stars finale with her tonight and act like it was the best thing ever...you will win her heart. It is going to be a great show!

Dude, seriously, given the choice, pick 24. It's pretty outlandish and unrealistic at times, but if you have to choose one of these and only one, pick 24.

One of the problems with these kinds of shows which do not resolve themselves at the end of each episode (as, say, "Law & Order" does) but try and keep you hanging and coming back for more is that even if they've created intriguing and complex characters, eventually, they're going to have those characters behave in a way that that character, as we know him/her, would NEVER behave, and you just figure, well... none of this really counts for anything. Which you should have realized when you started watching anyway.

She's missing the boat if she isn't watching LOST. Far far better than all 3 (although the first couple seasons of 24 were good).

You are getting advice from letrun guys who most likely watch porn all day long.

In the interest of spending more time with my wife I have agreed to watch one of her 3 shows with her next fall.

To spend more time with your wife, you are going to watch TV with her?

txRUNNERgirl, you don't think that spending 40 minutes of a garbage TV show and 20 minutes of commercials is a good way for a couple to spend time together? Didn't you read Desperate Husband's post where he said that they have four kids and limited time? I mean why would they want to waste that precious hour on going for a walk, going to dinner together or even playing scrabble when they could veg in front of the TV?

That's a good point. This guy should have bartered an extra hour's worth of sex, which, as we all know, pratically goes away after marriage, by no fault of the guy I might add.

LOST > Heroes > 24 (All good)

Add in The Office on Thursday's.

I'm still a stickler for reality TV though

Amazing Race > Survivor

Yau Man > You

Have it your way wrote:

In that case, Dr. McDreamy will do the trick.

Hate to say it, bt I agree with FPW. Grey's Anatomy can give me a headache when it's on in the next room and I can barely hear it. Never actually watched more than a few minutes of it. Just a bunch of sluts (of both sexes) moping around and crying with depressing music droning on.Desperate Housewives sucks horribly too. 24 is alright, but I've never really watched enough to get into it. It does seem very predictable at times. Lost on the other hand, is still pretty good. I could see it taking a big dump next season though. They need to wrap. it. up. after 2008.

watch the office its the best show ever even though the season is over.

Wait, I should have read the original post more closely. To spend more time with your wife, you are going to watch TV with her? Is this her idea or yours? Why do you need to watch one of "her" shows to spend more time together, unless you really want to? Has she made any effort to do anything with you?

I see your point to an extent. But I don't think you can appreciate how chaotic our lives are right now. All our kids play at least one sport and it seems like we are going in 4 directions every night. We're lucky if we can eat together 2 nights a week. We used to go out a lot before we had kids and even when they were young, but right now we are just consumed with their activities (although we really enjoy it).

She just enjoys when I sit with her for an hour and watch a program instead of disappearing into another room.

She has invited me to her book club which meets every few weeks or so. But I think I'd rather ingest cyanide than spend 2 hours with those cackling hens. That's territory no husband should venture into.

My bad. You are correct. House is very good.

I think both shows suck! But if I had to pick one it would be Desperate Housewives because they are not part of the GPM...

definitely watch grey's anatomy, it's amazing

Just been reading the thread and surprise has beat me to it. House is brilliant, despite being a big scrubs fan I'd still probably choose House over it, any chance the two of you could watch that instead?

Never really watched 24 but if you're a stereotypical bloke it is probably better on surface + Elisha Cuthbert!, Grey's is too emotional for me, DH would be my choice, too many people watch it as an emotional show between the characters, it is a very funny black comedy! Okay, there's relationship stuff et al as well but it's a comedy.

House if you can finangle it though.
