We Don't Need No Stinkin' Wii

I've given my husband a lot of credit for the great strides that he's been taking since he turned 35. I have to tell you though, that some of things he does are decidedly illogical. Now, I will point out that I knew my husband liked really bad tv when we got married, it truly is a hobby for some people. One of his favorite shows was Jerry Springer. Another, Sally Jesse Raphael, and Maury too. There used to be a lot more bad daytime talk shows, these have all switched over to ridiculous people on court shows, actually, so ridiculous it's almost unbelievable. So my husband has switched to court shows as well. Admittedly, they are sometimes fun to watch, not all day mind you, but some of the judges are funny. He could truly watch these shows all day. His love of the bad reality tv has hit an all time low though. I thought it was bad when he was watching the poker tournaments, that was nothing compared to this. Now he's addicted to watching other people play video games against each other. Are you kidding me? Why is this even a show and could it possibly be any more mindless than that summary suggests? Reality tv has never been so low and how can they actually have a high enough rating to keep it on the air? Seriously....how? And the sad thing is, god forbid someone change the channel while he's watching it....he truly cares who wins! I can't take it....Judge Judy, Judge Alex, and Judge Brown, fine whatever, sometimes funny, usually entertaining, even a lesson sometimes, But what value can you get out of 2 people playing video games, neither of which is him. And then caring who wins. I'll tell you straight up Readers, if that's all it takes to entertain him, then I'm certainly not listening to him tell me he needs a Wii or some other such system, he can just go watch other people play. End of story.
