    Woo Hoo! My lifelong dream came true!

    My wife, son and I were selected to be a Nielsen Family...they sent us little journals to chronicle our television consumption starting this Thursday through the next Thursday.

    Pretty cool!

    Did they send you any compensation? Years and years and years ago we got a silver dollar!

    My family did that once when I was a kid. It's cool. My Dad always wanted to skew everything by having sports on the TV all the time!

    my favorite show, Ed, isn't on during the offseason. but there is a space to make comments about shows that weren't on during the week that you would ordinarily watch. rest assured, Ed will be getting big ups from the MadMax crib!

    (did i just say "ups" and "crib"?)

    Actually, it seems as if Big Brother will be watching him instead.

    We were a Nielsen 'family' a couple of years back...But there was no book...There was this gadget attached to the top of the TV, and you had to use a remote to say who was watching...like there were 6 of us, so one was Viewer 1, etc..

    They were very nice...they sent us a gift pack when we signed up, another at Christmas, paid us per month, and also would pay 1/2 of any repairs and/or new tv during the year.

    that's cool...apparently we didn't make it to that cut! i think it's because we're not in a new season of shows...only reruns in the summer. that's just my guess. and it's only for one week.
