Pull the plug. You'll never miss it. This part of the article shocked me more than anything:

"the number of commercials children see each year has doubled - from 20,000 in the 1970s, to 40,000 today."

My kids see almost NO commercials; consequently, they're not always pestering me to but them stupid junk that rots their brains.

My kids' and I don't watch very much TV. But there is no way I am missing the last three episodes of "Friends". Third to the last is this week, I'm watching. That is the ONLY show I "have" to watch. Other then that...I don't care what is on, neither do my kids.

Couldn't they schedule this during summer reruns? This is the week Trading Spaces pays for my mortgage...

So long as there are reruns of SG-1, the TV stays on.
