TV Viewership on the Rise, According to Nielsen
Last week, Nielsen reported that U.S. residents are watching TV more than ever.
According to the Nielsen press release, last year, the average U.S. household watched eight hours and 18 minutes of TV a day. Meanwhile, an individual, on average, watched 142 hours of TV per month. That works out to over 58 hours per week, which essentially means that Joe Six-Pack is spending more time in front of the boob tube as he spends at his job (according to a 2007 study by Microsoft, the average American spends 45 hours per week at work). Mobile and Internet television usage is also up, the report indicates, to averages of three and 27 hours a month, respectively.
With the economic troubles that have befallen us over the last several months, we aren't all that surprised. With an increasing number of individuals and families struggling to buy groceries and pay bills, it stands to reason that folks are staying in more. [From: Wired Blog]

Actually, this phenomenon is called "keep your eyes glued to Fox News to get a little reality in your lives, as oppossed to having smoke blown up your asses for nearly two years" syndrome.
The medical terminology is called the "NBCfluenza", and it's very dangerous to one's health.

Fox Propaganda Channel is not News..It is lies and distortion, using fear. It is packaged by the wealthy and corporations, especially big oil for a mostly uneducated audience. Of course they are able to also pull in the 20-30% of the evangelical population that alco cannot or will not think for themselves. Hannity and ORielly are good mouth pieces. Dress them up like they used to dress up David Duke and they will say anything for money. They are still undereducated and in Hannity's case uneducated thugs. Just like the old propaganda machine in the Soviet Union..for the ignorant masses.

Maybe so. But one of the main reasons is that you have better actors and actresses on tv shows and you get better tv shows without having to inconvenience yourself driving to some smelly, uncomfortable movie theater.
