Actually we're just the opposite, we're not night people as far as going out and eating dinner. We do see some of the bands, but are back home by 7:30. We eat lunch out about 5 days a week, but never dinner. We have a 60" LED HD TV and Directv Premier package for the past ten years. So we have about 300 channels, when I'm not watching sports my wife controls the TV. It started in the 1960's when 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Compote came out. She has read over 500 true crime books, and now with channels like ID (Investigation Discovery) she watches day and night. Throw in TLC, A&E and OWN showing crime shows and Friday nights NBC and ABC run their Dateline and 20/20 shows, and there is 48 Hours also on a lot. She was a big Nancy Grace fan until she retired last year and of course Court TV was a staple for many years during the day. I can't get my wife to watch a sitcom, even though I did watch The Office and Seinfeld, she wouldn't for one minute. She does like Mary Tyler Moore and during the holidays I recorded about 50 of them from Hallmark Channel and we've been slowly going through them. Also with about 50 HD commercial free movie channels, I'm always recording movies and watching them, I'm a big movie fan. So I guess sitcoms just aren't in our world and I would only know Tim Allen from maybe when he was on the Today Show, which we do watch every morning.
