I get to be a Nielsen TV ratings home!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

Yippie! I'm gonna make sure and set my DVR to record EVERYTHING that's LIBERAL all week long. Finally all those channels are going to be put to good use. :bounce:

Oh, and they sent me five crisp new one dollar bills for my efforts. :)

[bluestateguy]

1. We could have used you a few weeks ago...

[Lone_Star_Dem]

2. Figures, they just now choose me...

I plan to use my little diary for good and not evil. :)

I don't usually watch much TV but for this I'll make an exception. ;)

[bluestateguy]

3. The O.C. is a liberal show

Last week they lampooned Bob Jones University. In addition, all the Republican characters on the show (Caleb Nichol, Julie Cooper, etc.) are depicted as bad people.

[Renew Deal]

4. You could lose it by posting this.

Can't you?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

5. I don't know, I'm new to this....

It doesn't say anything like that in the instructions, but you never know.

[AndyTiedye]

6. I Don't Think They Allow Democrats to be Nielsen Families

Not sure how you slipped through.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

7. Shh... I'm in stealth mode

I live in rural Texas, they never guessed I was a Dem. :D


Right now I'm busy setting up my DVR to record all my favorite programs. Boy, are they going to be surprised! ;)

[sniffa]

8. i envy you

my Life-Long dream has been to be a nieLson famiLy.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

11. Mine too!

Now I can die a happy and fulfilled woman. :P

[evlbstrd]

9. Is it the viewing diary?

Or a digial hookup?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

10. It's the Diary

They paid me five bucks to do the work for them though. I plan on investing it wisely for my retirement. :)

[evlbstrd]

12. Then you don't even have to turn on the teevee.

Just "check your local listings" and fill in the blanks.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. Nah

If I'm going to say I watched it I will. I know alot of other people don't but this is how I am.

[evlbstrd]

38. You are brave, Lone_star_Dem,

and I'd do the same thing.
Actually, I watch a lot of teevee. Just don't have cable or Sat. I'm very worried abiut PBS.

[Steve Nash is god 13]

13. what's a nielsen family?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

16. Nielsen is the company that does the TV ratings.

It's how the networks keep track of viewing habits and decide what gets the ax and what stays.

[fleabert]

15. I have always wanted to be one!

dh got a call at work one time to do it, and they said it went by phone number, not person. So they didn't call me when he said 'call my wife! she'd love to do it!' they had made a mistake calling a biz. :-(

[Lone_Star_Dem]

17. So that's how they choose you.

I have to admit I was curious. This is actually the second time in the past ten years or so that I've been chosen. Guess they like my phone number?

I promise to represent the progressives to the best of my ability, if that makes you feel any better about missing out. :)

[fleabert]

18. It does make me feel better...

I will be sure to pm you if a show seems unnoticed, how long are you doing it? Long term or short? (not that I'd expect you to watch it just cause I said so, just a fyi occasionally) :-)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

22. I only get to do this for one week.

It starts on Thursday and ends next Wednesday. I wish it were longer, but you take what you get. I'm receptive to heads up on good programing but no guarantees that I'll watch it. I'm trying to be fair. :P

[GOPisEvil]

19. Yay!!!

:bounce:

Don't spend that $5 all in one place. :D

[Lone_Star_Dem]

23. Of course not

It's going to be invested wisely. I was thinking of something in the dairy industry, like maybe some ice cream. :P

[GOPisEvil]

27. Pecan, pralines and cream!

:9

[Lone_Star_Dem]

28. Always!

I deserve only the best for all my hard work watching TV, don't I? :P

[GOPisEvil]

29. But of course!

Blue Bell or nothing! :D

[Lone_Star_Dem]

31. Ohhhh, I meant to tell you....

I tried the HEB frozen yogurt one. YUMMY! :9 Thanks for the tip! :)

[GOPisEvil]

32. Doesn't it taste just like the real thing?

That reminds me...I need to make a run to HEB. :9

You're welcome. :)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

35. I was surprised, but it really does!

Dang it! Now I'm going to have to go and get some, too. :P

[GOPisEvil]

36. I'll have sweet dreams tonight for sure!

:D

'night! :hi:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

37. G'night!

:hi:

[UrbScotty]

20. Watch FOX NEWS at 8 PM and MSNBC at 10 PM each weeknight!

:sarcasm:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. They are top on my list.

:P

[UrbScotty]

39. List of WHAT?

:evilgrin:

[JimmyJazz]

21. That is so way cool!

Be sure to watch the Daily Show and KEOB! :hi:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

25. Funny thing is

Those are the only two programs I ALWAYS record anyway, it's the only way my daughter and I can both get to watch them. :)
:hi:

[sonicx]

26. Watch Ellen Degeneres, Without a Trace, Letterman...

Law and Order SVU, and the Daily Show (duh).

[Lone_Star_Dem]

30. Thank you, I'll look into those.

Before this week is up I suspect I'll have added a least a few new programs to my list of regularly viewed TV.

[CanuckAmok]

33. Wow, with all the liberal-biased programming... how can you watch it all?

n/t

[Lone_Star_Dem]

34. Well, I am going to have to tweak my schedule a bit..

Hmm, let's see, if I eliminate the 30 minutes a day I spend cursing CNN that should just about do it. :P
