As Seen On TV

As a regular guy, I enjoy sitting on a couch, drinking cold drinks and watching TV. I am a big fan of TV. I am a guy who if I were stuck in a deserted island and granted to bring three things, one of them would be a TV. Then I would kill myself because then I realized there's no electricity in that island.

Before I got marriage, I used to watch the TV alone and have a total control of the remote. But now that my wife is with me, well, there's not much difference. It's because my wife doesn't watch TV that much. She only watch a very few programs, all of which I never watch myself.
So, seeing the difference, I then do what every loving and caring husband in the world does, to try to change the wife to become more like me.

I asked her to join me every time I watch TV, which is every night, and it went very well, from the moment the show started, to ten minutes later, when her attention just went to everything else in the room, shown by her going to the kitchen for about twenty times to get a drink, get a snack, remodel the kitchen cabinet, etc.
“Wow, Jack Bauer almost got ……. Hey, our shirts have not been ironed”
“This Eva Longoria’s character should just stay… mmm, I think it’s going to rain in an hour, I’d better bring in our laundry”
And so on.
So after a while I gave up and just watched the TV alone. I guess we cannot just change our spouse just because we like something. We can try, but there’s always a possibility that we might not like what she becomes after she changes. So I believe that it’s better this way, which means that she also cannot nag to change me or the outfit that I wear.
