I've noticed that women like to see what's on TV, men like to see what ELSE is on TV and this seems to cause a lot of battles for the remote when you're trying to have a relaxing night at home with your significant other. Do you have a great 'battle for the remote control' story?

luckily i dont have this problem with my husband he usually comes home from work..eats dinner and plays on the computer until bedtime during the week..I tape the shows he likes to watch during the week so he can watch them when he has time but we pretty much have the same taste in tv..(except my reality shows and ghost hunters) i must see them and he could care less...but when he does get ahold of the controller he does flip through about 5 channels watching till commercial then checking the other show till commercial lol think thats why the remote stays beside me unless i am asleep cause i cant stand that flippy flopping stuff

I don't usually watch tv so it's not a big deal in my house, but when i was watching tv, it wasn't a problem either, my hubby and i both love the same shows, and never have any kind of argument over it. Although i used to like to watch umm, i'll think of it :P ohh will and grace, and he said he didn't like it and would complain about it, but i noticed it was only during commercial breaks, so i watched him one day and he actually likes it, just doesn't want me to know that ;) haha says he doesn't like it cause they act so stupid, haha yeah, i'm sure.

Me and my boyfriend recently got into a fight over the remote. We usually watch the same stuff but I like to flip to see what's on, he just likes to put one of his favorite channels and watch watever is on. There's some shows that I like and he hates and that's why we usually argue over the remote because he hates some of the shows that I watch and I hate some of the stuff that he watches, like the animal planet and the science channel, he likes the boring stuff, he's a nerd lol
