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 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.
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.

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.

Well - it's all about the games that WE want to play together, because that's the whole crux of the problem.
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.

Lady units that feature a left hand ring are not upgradeable - unless you have tons of money.

An example of something that we loved, is Highrise Heroes. It's meant to be single player, but we played it together and had a blast. It's a word puzzle game.
