On Saturday nights at 10:30pm Kyle and I watch Seinfeld reruns. He also likes to watch “Whose Line is it Anyway?” a half-hour earlier at 10:00pm. However, sometimes there’s a movie on instead, so he starts his ritual of ‘channel surfing.’
Basically, he holds down the “next channel” button which makes the TV switch channels about once a second. He says that it “sharpens the passive staring skills” but it drives me crazy! I want it to settle somewhere! Five-hundred miles an hour is hard on the eyes when the scenery is constantly changing. To be honest, I usually get up anyway because I don’t really want to watch anything besides “Whose Line is it Anyway?” I’ll admit, I’ve done a little surfin’ in my day but I don’t let that get in the way of telling him to “Stop!!!”
I’ve heard that men channel surf more than women. I wonder if it’s true or if men just do it when women are around to drive them crazy!
Don’t you know Seinfeld is on every night at 10:35 on channel 2?
Oh yes. But if I watched it every night, the ritual/tradition would vanish (plus, I normally go to bed at 10:00)
I just saw trading spouses and you guys said you didnt have a T.V.?
Well, actually, we did. When it was being filmed and she asked if we had a tv (and coffee ‘n all), we laughed and said yes. However, to make a better story, they cut out ‘yes’ and put in ‘no.’
Ah, the magic of post-editing!
However, if you mean by “T.V.” as a 32″ Widescreen HDTV, no, we don’t/didn’t have one (though we did for a weekend until we realized it just didn’t fit)
