We do get the NFL Ticket so my wife can watch Bengals games while I watch the Browns games. Seems like a monumental waste of money though. Sure, it is nice to be able to watch some games that I normally wouldn't be able to unless I went to a bar, but now that the Browns are turning it around (based on 4-game win streak and Holmgren hiring. I can be hopeful right?) then I won't need to watch any other games.<br>I agree with you about the social aspect. Watching sitcoms alone is only fun if you can share the punchlines with friends the next day or so after. I have very few shows that I watch religiously. So You Think You Can Dance is one of them. Criminal Minds the other. Because I work from home, the only person I really get to talk to about the shows is my wife because those are her favorite shows and we always watch them together. TV has become less and less social, especially now because people can watch TV on-line. I know some people that don't even pay for cable or satellite, because they can watch it on-line for free.
