Also, you can consider filling the gap with movies.
same issue - finding movies we both like.

When House of cards dropped on Netflix, I thought it was kinda cool - bam binge watch awesome, no waiting... but after 2-5 days of watching, now I get to wait 12 months for the next installment. That's to long for me personally.
Sure, but you get that even worse the way that you do things now. that's what I don't understand. Netflix only makes this better in every way, there is no worse.
eh? how is it better - other than forcing myself to only watch one episode a week? So assuming I binge it, it's still 12 more months until Netflix gets the next season, so ...
But you don't have to binge. You can't binge now, so even having the option to is purely a bonus. What you are doing today is not taken away, only more, better options are made available. There is no downside. Costs less, no options lost.
did you miss the part about not having enough self control to not binge - is that blunt enough?
Did you miss the part where I kept pointing out that you HAVE that self control now, that is what is keeping you from binging today, but you do it in a weird way that involves paying someone a lot of money to dole out your shows for you?
how do I have it today? I don't because the shows are coming out now. The show isn't bingable today.. it will be in 7 months.
Sure, and you use money and self control to keep yourself from binging it. I do not, I wait and binge.

Right, but you've already exhausted the history of movies? You are waiting for new movies to be made to have things to watch?

You say that I sound extreme with things, but this feels so much more extreme than me. I dislike nearly all television and movies, yet never have this level of issue finding things to watch with people.

Waiting is self control, paying to watch now is possibly a lack there of - damn that makes me look super lame right now.

If Netflix and Amazon don't have shows you can binge watch together, I can't imagine anything else that exists in the world that would.

And you can be sure they are good enough or they wouldn't have them... unlike cable TV where they just throw wtf ever at you in the worst way possible.

You have several things in your favor - your family agrees that TV mostly sucks. I'm guessing that you have all the time YOU desire to watch whatever you desire to watch. I do not. I have around 4 hours a day to watch on average. I'm with my wife for at least 3 of those hours.. so that's 3 hours I don't get to watch what I want, instead I have to watch what we want to watch.

That's my feeling. I'm at a point where I solidly consider cable television the "garbage tier" of stuff not good enough for the good networks (Netflix and Amazon) to be willing to pay for.

I get that, but those things don't pile up. Basically you don't get to watch whatever you want to watch. That's fine, but it is what it is so discount it. Neither system helps or hinders that. That's just how your life is.
Now the other issue is that you have very limited viewing time. That's a bonus since apparently there is nothing out there worth watching. It would take extremely little to fill that limited time then.
Maybe you need to get your wife into video games.

LOL - I've tried.. we owned a Wii and some other system, she hated both.. played like 10 mins I think.. and then it just collected dust.

Well sure, you set her up for failure with a Wii!

It's about the games, not the systems. What games did you have her try?

Mine only likes wii and mario type games. It's hard to get her to play anything that isn't really retro, but put Super Mario Brothers 3 on and she has to play.

and it was years ago.. I don't recall.

Well as there is no game that anyone would want to play on a Wii, that wouldn't work. You'd be lucky if either of you had a game, let alone one that overlaps.

My wife in darn near an anti-gamer - she really just doesn't like any type of typical video game.
She plays word's with friends, and other scrabble variants, as well as a Sudoku.

Most games for Wii aren't as good as other systems, but they are a few gems like Mario Party and Super Mario Brothers Wii

I know at the time we had it.. we were both looking to lose some weight.. I think we actually played it for about a month before it was relegated to mothballs.

Sounds like some of you need to upgrade your lady unit. Some of the newer models have much better compatibility with existing nerdiness.
