When Doug and I was growing up, Thursday was our favorite TV night. The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers, Friends and Law & Order were just a few staples featured. As the popularity of those shows waned, keeping Thursday night open became less of a priority. Since that time period, there really hasn't been an evening dedicated to watching television for Doug and I. We both have had shows that we enjoyed as did our children, but none that had to be watched in real time. Instead, we could tape them or add them to our digital iCloud to watch later.
All of that changed over the past two years. The first night that we started to keep open was Tuesdays, but that was just for Dancing with the Stars. We both enjoyed watching that together, but it was only for a few months. Once it was over, we talked about trying to continue our Tuesday night ritual by watching past season of DWTS. Neither one of us were extremely excited about that. We then tried Modern family, but it was only a half hour comedy and after a couple of episodes we would be ready to watch something else.
In the end, Doug and I finally found shows that we both liked, looked forward to and could continue our "TV night" ritual with albeit on Wednesday instead of Thursday. Now, we have both have a lot of fun watching Survivor and Amazing Race together, and as an added bonus, it has given us something to talk about later in the week as well. Doug hasn't quite caught on to my enthusiasm for Chicago Fire or Chicago PD which air on Wednesday night as well, but that's ok. I can always watch them on my own later.
