Three out of four American homes have more than one television. Seventy-seven percent of American sixth-graders have a TV in their bedrooms. The average individual American watches television for roughly four hours a day, and the average American household watches over seven hours of television a day. According to one study, television accounts for nearly 40% of the average American’s free time.

That is frightening! No wonder we face what we face in society.
that is pathetic. seriously - when people tell me they have no idea what's going on in Darfur or the DR Congo because "they have no time" i'm going to laugh in their faces!
Oh my goodness- how can they sit so long. It is really a shame that people don't have more to do. No wonder our society has the problems they do.
I read that report a couple of weeks ago;I realized families had more tvs than people in the home... I was even *more* shocked to realize that was our home! lol
13" tvs in the kitchen and Brent's study; a television hibernating in our bedroom and the Plasma in the family room.
Generally we watch Netflix season dvds of Monk (hilarious!), the Office (excruciating!) and our favorite sports teams ~ the Dodgers and BYU.
Of course, now we won't be watching the Dodgers until next season.
yikes.
