No what's worse is when you are watching something you are enjoying and then she goes LET'S WATCH IT TOGETHER and of course this really means "today, and then never, ever again" and you sit around for months waiting for her to want to continue and it never loving happens.

maybe High School human being Powerup Ultra Anime isn't worth watching

Then she shouldn't say she wants to watch it, duh. Just say you don't like it and I'll watch it when you're not around it's not rocket surgery.

i have the opposite problem, i start watching a new show and then she goes lets watch it together! and that means watching the first ep together and then she ends up watching the whole thing by herself

yeah sometimes this happens too.

Oh I know a show mine likes to watch a lot, Ghost Adventures. I have a really hard time not yelling at that show if I can hear it because holy poo poo it's dumb. Wow the ghost used the computer machine to say DEATH DANGER MEGA SATAN? Yeah no poo poo you probably only put negative words in it, and also you're just choosing them for dramatic effect yourselves anyway. And then they play a lovely staticky playback of a "ghost voice" that sounds like nothing and they tell you it says GET OUT or whatever and play it back 7 times with subtitles to trick you into hearing it. Those motherfuckers use a goddamn kinect to tracks ghosts it's funny as poo poo if you can stand how dumb it is but she likes it so I try to be nice and ignore it so I don't just laugh at it the whole time.

It's even worse when you are on vacation and it's some chinese or korean drama she convinces you to watch and you reluctantly agree and then after you get home from vacation she watches it all on her own while you're away and doesn't tell you and then you ask about it and she pretends it never existed and says you weren't interested. gently caress!! It's not like you're going to watch it on your own, but you kind of wonder what happened and also wouldn't mind watching it more with her.

Are any of these decent at all because they all look like the standard romantic comedy drama things that don't really interest me at all unless they have a super retarded premise or titties in them at least. Like I watched Glory Days because it has a hot porn star in it taking her tits out fairly often.

Also the number one reason I don't like those thousands of cops shows is that it somehow manages to like always be a THIS TIME THE CASE IS PERSONAL for someone on the staff. They kidnapped a cast member, or it's her father's killer, or he was in the military with the dude, or whatever loving dumb reason to make it personal for one of the main cast. Isn't that a conflict of interest that is intentionally avoided by police?

I'm fairly convinced you could recut American Horror Story into a comedy with fairly minimal effort.

A family moves to their new dream home, and boy is it ever haunted! The ghosts just keep piling up in that house, holy poo poo it gets hilarious. And then the ending, just :bravo: on your amazing efforts there dad.

Sound mixing is so weird on tv and movies now anyway that I have been using subs for years. loving quiet rear end conversations and loud rear end gunfire or whatever. Hell when I was a kid I turned the captions on the TV and it helped me become a pretty fast reader so it's pretty much got no downsides.

i think this is because they're engineered for 7.1 or whatever and they assume everyone has it. i am constantly adjusting my volume when i watch anything made after about 2008.

Yeah, this is what I figured, but it still sucks.
