On September 10th of this year the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) posted a press release informing the world that “from October 19-25, more than 60 network TV shows [will] spotlight the power and personal benefits of service,” and that this “unprecedented block of TV programming is the first wave of a multi-year ‘I Participate’ campaign.”

But not House? Great! Thanks for posting.
How can people just buy this crap?
I only watch four of the shows on that list anyway, and one of them (Cold Case) is “on probation” with me for anti-Christian bigotry.
Ugh...>BARF ALERT<....yeh, I’ll start “volunteering” and doing “services” as soon as Obama gets off his high horses ass, and starts working FOR America/Americans!!!
Does McDonalds make good hamburgers?
The list, ping
It never occured to me but my faovite Soap Opera Young & Ressless Sony was ruthless with one of the top actor on Soaps Eric Bearden aka Victor Newman on Y&R the hard nail Capitalist!
He volunteer to take a cut in pay to keep the show on two years ago when he signed his contract which is up in Nov 2011.
What Sony did was called him in to review his contract which has some claws that was never use in the 30 years he was there.
They wanted another cut but before that they insulted him making it impossible to negotiate.
Who would have thought it was politics!
I’ve already seen something like this. On Monday night there was a spot mixed in with Heroes. A few days later I saw another spot, but I don’t remember which show it was slipped into.
Just the presentation was creepy. I should say it made my blood boil just watching it.
I believe in volunteerism, so don’t get me wrong, but the government becoming involved to urge it and force it on our youth is disgusting.

Arbeit machst frei fur der ‘bamafuhrer!
I don’t give service to anyone without pay, obama can go straight to hell!!!!
I don’t owe him or the country anything!
NETFLICKS ! ! ! Awesome, view on line even. Death to all cable TV. FOX-only package or die.
Thank God it’s hockey and football season.
The only thing on my TV is sports, Fox News and Star Trek reruns.
Anything that isn’t sports related I would NEVER get from ABC, NBC or CBS. Been like that for 20 years. Even as account executive for ABC, NBC and CBS stations I couldn’t watch what I sold.
Pissed off my bosses I hated my own channel but the numbers were there so what can they do.
bookmark.
I just wonder how certain shows would incorporate the propaganda....
I mean, I usually watch House, Fringe, So You Think You Can Dance, CSI, Sons of Anarchy...
Somehow I just don’t see how those shows could tweak their “plot”...I could be wrong. I’d love to see how House would handle being told he has to “serve or volunteer” LOL
