Man TV

My husband just loves Man Shows. I don't mean shows with scantily clad women jumping up and down on a trampoline. I don't even mean shows with a bunch of guys dressed in the same outfit throwing a ball. I mean shows like Build it Bigger or How Do They Do That? or Modern Marvels or whatever. I'm guessing that many of you women know what I'm talking about. It seems every time I'm not home, he is watching these shows. It is funny because I think he is actually thinking, "I can do that" when they are blowing up a structure or building a giant ship. To him, it's fascinating. To me, it's kind of interesting... for about ten minutes. Once I figure out what they are doing, I'm basically done watching. I just realized this is actually Mr. Rogers Neighborhood for grown men. Remember on Mr. Rogers, between him changing his shoes and talking to King Friday in the World of Make-Believe, they would show clips of factories making crayons and stuff. And the new King Friday is Peter Griffin. I suppose it is better than my dad. He DVR's Jag and NCIS and all those military shows... and watches them over and over and over again. It doesn't matter if he has seen the episode fifteen times. He is still surprised when they actually win the case! At least my husband's TV fetish might help him learn something in the meantime. And with any luck, we might be the only family in the neighborhood with a loop-d-loop steel coaster in the backyard. So you just keep watching, Sweetheart... watch and learn!
