I have not owned a TV in over 20 years... and the two or three times a
year I need to do a brain-melt and veg out on StarTrek, DS9, ... I go
over to a friend who is an avid fan... Ed just got married though so my
camping out on the coutch might change ;-)
I remember the time that Arbitron ratings company called the hous and
wanted us to participate in their survey. I lauged and told them that
we were not representitive audiences. But they REALLY wanted us to
participate... I thought for about a tripple could and asked "stistical
outliers?" Well yes I was told. Well, we did not watch TV all that
week so I wrote them a letter documenting why I had not watched TV and
detailing what we as a household "habitually" watch and why...
Well enough of this OT.
Enjoy the show!
