we’re a Nielsen Family. For a week, anyway… I got a first class post card (technically addressed to jeremiahblatz, who used to live here) saying that our household has been selected to be a Nielsen Family for a one week TV survey next week. We will receive a phone call with details in a few days. (hmmm, wonder if I should temporarilly start answering the landline… we normally ignore it…. I wonder if they will even call the land line, or if they will call Jer’s old cell #).
Awww yeah! Time to watch one straight week of porn, slam ball and Max Headroom and Battlestar Galatica reruns. Hmmm… maybe I’ll get lucky and Sci-Fi will run one of those Manimal marathons…
great…they pick a house of anti-she-spies heretics for the nielsens…
oooh… I wonder if i can get it replaced with an infomercial…
No chance. She Spies is the future of television.
then I weep for our children…
We all knew the Law & Order Era would not last forever…
well, of course we did… but we all always wished that it would somehow usher in the return of Cop Rock.
i’m sad. i never got to use my influence ’cause my friend (who is currently not speaking to me) chose the end of season week (when i was supposed to be a nielsen person) to have her surgery. now it’s up to the likes of you. watch a show for me, will you please?
I got that a while ago too. I filled up the book with the Simpsons, having only enough cable to watch the regular channels. They sent me five (count them, five) crisp $1 bills for my trouble, too!
