I don't know how you could stand watching Fox with someone who is watching it to actually get news/be informed.
TDS is great. My husband loves it too. One of the best ways to keep up on American politics. For instance, the night before last I went to watch "America This Week" from the Beeb on BBC iPlayer on my V+ box. After 15 minutes of General Petraeus at a Senate committee hearing, we switched over to watching a weeks worth of episodes from TDS. Not only did we learn more, I didn't risk falling asleep.
