tv research family

Ever wonder where "they" get the info for the "Nie1son Ratings"? Now we know...from people like us! We're not sure how we got "chosen" for this "honor" (I hate to think it's from the amount of time we spend watching TV...), but somehow they got our number. They've been sending us CASH in the mail to complete their surveys and send them back. This week we're supposed to be keeping a TV watching diary, not as easy as it sounds. But, I'm happy to report, our diary is pretty boring and I feel good about the amount of time we spend (or don't spend) watching TV. Of course, they don't ask us to record the DVDs we watch or our "On Demand" viewing, in which case we would have slightly more to record...but only slightly more. Joe is convinced we've seen all the $$ we're going to see from them, but I'm excited to see what comes next. So, the next time the Nie1son ratings come out, you can say you know someone who contributed to them!
