More Televisions Than People
According to Nielsen Media Research, the same folk who compile those pesky ratings, the average home has more televisions in it than people.
Far be it from me to disappoint. I have one television in the living room and a smaller one in the bedroom. And it’s me and two dogs. The dogs don’t really watch television, although if I have Animal Planet on and there are dogs barking, they’ll definitely watch long enough to see what that’s about. It makes me wonder whether dogs really do communicate specific things through their barks.
It also notes that the average person watches television for about four hours and thirty-five minutes a day. Hmm. Maybe if you don’t count the time it’s on as a “background,” I might fit into that discription. Otherwise, I shoot that average right out of the water.
Anyway, how many televisions do you have in your home? Do your TVs outnumber the people as well?

Let’s see… We have 1 television hooked up to the cable in the living room. There is a smaller set upstairs in the computer room - but it is just used to watch VCR tapes…. There is another one in my daughter’s room which is used for her Playstation…
So– We have 3 TVs (but only one used to watch TV shows) for 5 people.
Either way - we have more people than televisions sets.
I’m sure I don’t watch 4 hours of TV a day. More like 1 or 2 hours at the most.
