Default Stupid appliance idea


Do you disagree with me? This refrigerator with a built in tv.

I can just see it now, the tv breaks, you have to get someone in to
fix it for like $1000, then the next time, they don't make that any
more and no tv will fit into the opening so you're screwed. Never
mind how much room does it take out of the refrigerator compartment?

LOL.. I saw that thing advertised somewhere about 2 weeks ago. All I could
do was shake my head at the love affair some have with television. But,
hey... Cook along with Emeril??? Bam!!! Oh, that was the door slamming,
never mind.

<shrug> Way too ... ? ... but I suppose I could see some people that might
do that if they have a small kitchen and/or like to cook or watch TV while
in there. But then again, they'd be paying an extra $ 1 - 2k extra for the
TV... for that kind of money I'd put that towards my deposit/down payment to
buy a place with a bigger kitchen!

Priorities vs. money. Interesting concept.

A flat screen tv wouldn't take up any interior room... but what point is there
to a tv built into the fridge... I'd much rather have a stand alone small
screen tv, then I can place it wherever.

In our 50's house (sort of like on the Dick Van Dyke Show) the south wall of
the kitchen is open to the hall that opens to the dining room. The guy we
bought the house from built in a spot for a 13 inch tv in the hall so we can
watch it from the kitchen table or I can have it on when I cook. When I'm
doing something tedious to prepare a meal the tv helps, as I can catch the news
or something.

It really surprised me that our friend recently got a tv in her kitchen. In
years I had never seen a tv in her house and thought she didn't watch tv. She
is a longterm-vegetarian-harpist-Boulder-type.

Each to their own, but I like my kitchen tv.

I agree...stupid idea! Another way to get another buck. Plus, it's pretty
bad when you can't do without television while in the kitchen...it's our
lazy society.

I don't understand how that's lazy but I agree it's pretty bad. Next
thing ya know they'll be built into bathrooms, assuming they aren't
already. Give me some music when I'm cookin' or good conversation.

TVs are already built into bathrooms, have been for many years... the first
time I saw one was more than 20 years ago in Las Vegas, a 13" color tv in the
wall directily in front of the commode.

What was really wierd was I had a confirmed reservation but somehow my room was
given to someone so they gave me a honeymoon suite at no extra charge.. it was
quite a room, giant round bed with a gated wrought iron fence all around (guess
to lock in the prey), and a smokey mirrored ceiling! The bath was huge, with a
really neat over sized marble multi-headed glass enclosed shower... actually
had a big marble slab on one wall of the shower (I suppose to sit on while
clipping your toenails, hehe). I could understand the red heart shaped jetted
tub for two a few steps from the bed, but why the TV right opposite the
commode.. why the heck would honeymooners need to waste time with Days of Our
Lives?

In Vegas, I'd believe it. Can't understand wanting to sit on the
"throne" and watch the game but eh... <shrug>

I hope the hell you weren't alone in that room! ;-)

There are high-end spas with flat screen TVs.

Sharper Image has a TV that you can hang in the shower.

When you are on you feet for hours in the kitchen like I am, it's
great to have a TV. We have an open floor plan with a smallish second
family room connected to our kitchen. The TV sits in a recess
originally designed for a gas fireplace. I love it! DS (8 mos) can
play in the family room, I can watch him and cooking shows, and I can
get my work/cooking done. I can also pop in baby Einstein video for
him or whatever, if he gets bored with his toys. It's awesome. That
of course doesn't mean we don't have an active lifestyle - we do. But
there are times when I have to be in the kitchen, and having a TV to
watch helps make my work less tedious.

Yes, that sounds good, but do you want it in the fridge door? It is not a
practical place to have it when you are working around the kitchen compared
to having it facing your most used position. Layout is a factor, but doing
prep at the sink, the TV in the door would be in back of me. better to have
one where I could glance at the screen or move it as needed.

Oh, I agree it would be wasted in my kitchen if it were on the fridge
door. But maybe for some it is a good product.

Good point, Ed. Also, I can see the following scenario at our house:

Wife: What the hell are you doing, Dan?

Me: I'm going to get a beer out of the fridge.

Wife: You touch that door and you're dead meat. Sarah Jane is about to
confront Billy Bob about the affair he's having with her best friend, and
if you open the door, I might miss the scene. Come back in half an hour
when the show is over!

I'd have to buy another fridge for my beer!

Make your own beer Ed, it tastes much better when stored in the
basement and is about 55-60dF anyhow. ;-)

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake
when you make it again.

Yes, that sounds good, but do you want it in the fridge door? It is not a
practical place to have it when you are working around the kitchen compared
to having it facing your most used position. Layout is a factor, but doing
prep at the sink, the TV in the door would be in back of me. better to have
one where I could glance at the screen or move it as needed.

I don't understand how that's lazy but I agree it's pretty bad. Next
thing ya know they'll be built into bathrooms, assuming they aren't
already. Give me some music when I'm cookin' or good conversation.
