      If they paid for free cable it would be worth it ... But not 5 bucks

        Ha! I thought this was gonna be about The Outer Limits:

        "Do not attempt to adjust the picture, we are in control of the horizontal and the vertical."
        "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
        'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
        Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
        If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

          I was thinking about that when I wrote the title of the thread

            Hmmmm....

            They make you write it out? I thought it was all computerized now, so's to prevent cheating.

            ....and if I was up for this, I'd throw in some weird stuff; just to mess with them. (Marketing makes me sad.)

              Yeah they give you a book for each TV and you have to log everything...even if the TV is on and you're not actively watching it, it still counts and has to be logged.

                Interesting. It almost sounds like more trouble than it's worth. Especially, if you have several TVs.

                  ^ Yeah it was...we have 5 TVs...and sometimes the two kids had the same stuff on their TVs but in separate rooms so you had to fill out two books that said the same thing.

                    that is exactly what they want. they need to know that not everyone is watching American Idol and NCIS

                    and btw most recent ratings: The Big Bang Theory was the top scripted show with adults 18-49 (though I have to say I only watched this show once because I found none of the characters believable)

                    i have done some radio ratings in the past for the 5 bucks. it is about having a voice - not the cash.
