Rick sent his wife Kelcey this email…
One day I envision getting a bigger flat screen TV for our living room.

One day I envision a world where my children don’t argue and my 3-year-old doesn’t stay up until 10 pm and dishes are magically washed and everyone wears clothes without making them dirty so they can just put them right back in their dressers.

And Rick responded…
Perfect.
One day I envision that on our giant new television, you will stop recording shows on non-HD channels.

And Kelcey wrote…
Yeah maybe. And I envision you sitting down with me to watch “Sweet Home Alabama” so we can appreciate the magical chemistry of Josh Lucas and Reese Witherspoon and recite our favorite lines. Here I’ll go first. “What do you want to marry me for anyhow?” “So I can kiss you anytime I want.” Your turn.

Or here’s another one… “Look at you, you have a baby… In a bar.” Your turn.

I envision a world in which you stop doing this.

“I can’t control her, any more than I can control the weather.” Your turn again.

Seriously, if you stop, I won’t bring up that HD thing again.

You’re not that good at this game. I envision a world where I try to appreciate HD more if you appreciate the artistic talents of Josh Lucas more.

That’s not going to happen. I envision a world in which we watch the next Superbowl on our new giant TV.

I envision us watching the next Superbowl on our current TV as long as Coach Taylor is coaching and Tim Riggins is playing.

And Rick wrote…
They aren’t coaching or playing. Mostly because those people don’t actually exist. They are characters on “Friday Night Lights.” I’ve explained this before.

This is why I have trouble getting into football. Do you wish “Party of Five” was still on the air?

No, I don’t.

What about “Wings?” That was a great show. Do you miss “Wings?”

Rick wrote…
No, I don’t.
I gotta go. I’ll talk to you later. Love you.

Kelcey wrote…
Love you too. But spend some time thinking about “Wings.”

Absolutely. Spend some time thinking about that new TV.

Too funny!
Too funny.
I was right there with you on sweet home alabama. Love that movie.
But I have to say I love our big screen tv also. 🙂
Too Funny. Mine gets mad at me too for not DVR’ing in HD 🙂
I loved Wings! How do you not miss Wings?
Har! Wings would be awesome on a big screen tv….
🙂
So great. I love this post and that you guys have such a great relationship. Hilarity and heartwarming in one.
Hilarious!
I miss Wings! But…you can’t ride two horses with one ass sugarbee
I loved Wings too! Tim whats-his-name was/is so cute. And the brother, cute too. And the girl….adorable.
Adorable! And yes, I miss party of 5 and wings!
Our emails are only ever about who is going to email his mom (always ends up being me) and who is going to stop and buy X from the grocery store on the way home (him, because the grocery store on his way home doesn’t require left turns across traffic).
Can we talk about the fact that Prince is going to be on New Girl??? To me that is the marriage of two perfectly brilliant things. And if I know Rick Folbaum like I think I do, he will agree that this actually makes New Girl the best sitcom ever.
Please cc: me on all future emails. Thanks.
cc: me, too, please! “You’re not very good at this game” cracked me up.
FNL is the only football I will ever get on board with. Unless Tim goes pro (what? He’s not really a football player??!!)
Doesn’t Rick know you can record a zillion more shows when you don’t use HD recording? Gives room for more FNL, Wings and Sweet Home Alabsma type movies for you to record. I never record on HD. Who needs to see all those pimples, lines, and black circles under the eyes anyway?
You two need your own shown. In HD obvs!
Brilliant and hilarious. He had to know when he sent you that first email that it wouldn’t end well for him.
How can I read your blog in HD?
That was hysterical. You guys are the dope. I loved Wings too BTW.
Good article. I am dealing with a few of these issues as well..
Evan would like to envision a world where I can actually turn the TV on. Not sure what would happen to his world if I recorded anything (HD or not). These realities of Evan’s world should make Rick appreciate his world more :-). xo
Hilarious. And I’m with you…FNL is the only show that I bother to watch in HD.
Pingback: Things I Learned
Sweet Home Alabama is one of my favorites! Also, Party of Five! And I don’t care about HD TV. Apparently, we are a TV couple.
I gave up on setting things to DVR while my husband is in the room because I usually don’t both choosing the HD option for my shows, either. And then he sighs and I get in trouble. Apparently my husband isn’t the only husband rolling his eyes out of his head over this problem.
