River and Derek accepted their food, River just intent on not paying attention to the TV, because she was right in assuming that he would be bored to death. He never understood the interest that those shows carried. Let along the fact that there was a whole channel dedicated to it.
River just sat and ate his food in silence, Derek picked up the remote again, paused for a second on CNN, thinking he's be a smartass, but thought better of it and found a game show channel. Everyone loved game shows! River was content with this new choice, at least.
