[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 3862030, member: 16989"] Not really (the friends part). At least close buy. We bought a house close to my wife's work, but about 30 min from mine & most of our friends (housing prices were about $25,000 dollars cheaper here). I don't feel like 30 minutes to watch the game, 30 min to drive back (Plus that'd be when a lot of drunks start heading home). Plus, we just bought a 42" HD Flatscreen. That beats any of our friends by 20". We are now looking at various HD & DVR's (Have Dish Network, so that's going to be what we use). Plus, she controls the TV Tues, Thurs, Fri, Sat. ( I have Sun; Wed Game night). She realizes that 1 out of 7 vs 4 of 7, means I get MNF. She just wants to watch Heroes & missing an episode throws it all out of wack. In today's age of "Let's show this 500 time a week" its amazing that shows people actually watch run once, then go off to DVD land in a year or two. But, G4 is picling up where Sci-Fi left off, re-airing episodes later in the week. So my marriage is safe due to the Executives at G4 paying the NBC Man's Price. Or else I just get to stop begging & whimpering piteously, until she caves. [/QUOTE]
