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.

My God, what next?????
Welcome to the land of Hugo Chavez
FOX never looked Better
Good question.
However, I did see a commercial last night from Disney, which is giving out a 1-day pass for 1 day of volunteer service, IIRC. I wondered about the connection at that time.
Nothing is as it was for you, Winston.
The last time I saw American TV was in December 2004.
Got rid of mine 6 years ago. Never looked back. My eleven year old doesn’t even ask about it. We have plenty of better things to keep us busy.
Makes me glad I don’t subscribe to cable or satellite, and just watch DVD’s. I’d hate to be PAYING to watch propaganda!!
I want this Communist SOB OUT of my face.
Go away Obozo. You are flappy earred menace.
The 3rd game of the American league playoffs is Monday October 19 on Fox. Is mugabe going to pre-empt the best baseball games of the year? This is getting sicker and sicker by the day.
haven’t watched a TV Show since 1990, or Network News since 1996. The only channel on my TV is FOX News.
This crap works with uneducated shoeless Kenyans, as Hugo Chavez is showing not so much with Venezuelans.
In America it’s just laughter to see a Kenyan try to teach communism to educated people. Sure the ‘free suckers’ crowd will bite on anything with ‘free’ but people know.
Can he fly with his giant ears?
I have two TIVOs, so who cares ... scroll on by.
Barracky Hussein Obama -— mmmmm, mmmm, mmmm __ pht.
No TV here. Youtube is great. I recently watched the chariot race from Ben Hur, incredible. I only wish I knew how to make it full-monitor.
Also on YT I watch Fred and Ginger dance, and the Mongolians hunting wolves with golden eagles.
this is for a little relaxation, as I work at home on the computer.
I guess this matters - I watch two shows on TV weekly - I wont watch Hussein on TV or listen to him on the radio.
Let these guys go out of business. Stop pandering to shows because you don’t have anything better to do. While I’m on this rant - Get the kids off the couch and outside where they will think of something to do - not only will it be good for them but it will keep them from being indoctrinated with all the latest liberal lamestreem ideas.
Teach them to read. It opens up a whole new world!
I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book. -Groucho Marx
We don’t have direct tv either. Never felt that the price was worth it.
I don’t watch TV except for Maverick reruns & an occasional hockey game.

“wish I knew how to make it full-monitor.”
I believe all or nearly all youtube can be made full screen by clicking onto the rectangle that has the upper right quadrant in white (it is at the lower right corner of the actual viewing window)....after watching, press esc on your keyboard to go back to normal
this one works as described:
