Sorry about your loss, but you are correct. The only people who willing watch this junk are women and gay guys. The 98% of non-liberal straight guys who end up watching only do it to make their wives or girlfriends happy.
The last time I watched it was like 8 years ago, just to make a girl happy. I'm glad I haven't been caught in that trap since.
I used to suffer through a lot of TV trash to make Sheryl happy – including daytime talk shows if I wasn’t at work. She was hooked on Jerry.
