Help! My wife has the remote!

Dear Angie,

My wife is making me crazy. She watches the worst crap on TV.

We hardly ever agree on what to watch, and she always tries to control the remote.

How can I get her to compromise?

Dear Channel Challenger,

Isn’t it possible that you watch the worst crap on TV?

Are you watching CSI: Miami and NCIS and JAG reruns?

Look, it’s rare for a married couple to agree on TV. Why would you? You don’t agree on anything else.

Either suffer silently and let her win this battle or invest in a flat-model TV that you can mount on the kitchen wall.

Then she can watch Dancing with the Stars and The Bachelor and American Idol while she’s making snacks for you two to enjoy separately.

Love, Angie
