A Nielsen Family At Last
Well, we're officially a Nielsen family for one week. Finally, I can tell somebody about what TV shows I'm obsessed with, and they?ll actually listen to me! I get to help promote stuff like the video game shows on G4 (but not the crappy non-video games shows like Cheaters or that racing show... blech!), the new horror channel "Chiller" (Alfred Hitchcock Presents - prepare to get an increase in ad revenue), the uncensored movies on Fox Movie Channel (take that family values), and Lost (hey, some of us still watch it). I've been waiting for this glorious moment since I was ten years old.
It's funny, but now I feel compelled to watch TV constantly so as to not miss a golden opportunity to plug one of my favorite shows. That's probably not how you're supposed to do it, so hopefully the Nielsen people aren't reading my blog. It's weird that they keep track of pre-recorded shows that you watch later on your DVR, because (I assume) people don't actually watch the commercials when they can fast-forward through them. Of course, the future will bring us lots of product placement and annoying in-show pop-up banners, so I guess that's why they?re bothering.
Anyway, time to go write the Daily Show in my TV Viewing Diary (and probably watch it, too).
