Watch TV while nuking some popcorn

Here's the thing about microwave ovens. They promise to cook your food faster, but really they just make time seem to drag on and on. You're not stirring chopping ingredients when you use a microwave, so you're just sitting around waiting for your food to finish.And since microwaving is faster than cooking something in the oven, you don't really have time to go watch a TV show while you're waiting for your food to finish. So you stand in front of the microwave watching the seconds counting down until your burrito is ready to eat. And man, do those seconds take a long time to count down.
Well, we've probably just put more thought into this problem than anyone else in the history of the human race -- except for the guy who designed this 1200 watt microwave with a TV built into the door.
The TV unit is 15 inches, and even includes a DVD player. While you probably won't pop a movie in while waiting for your popcorn to pop, we're all for having a space-saving TV in the kitchen. You can watch a cooking show while you cook. Or Battlestar Galactica. We won't judge, either way.
