View Full Version : National Turn Off Your TV Week
Hello friends. TJL here with a friendly reminder.
Tomorrow begins National Turn Off Your Televison Week, where Americans are encouraged to shut of thier Televisions and partake in other activities for seven days.
Might I suggest reading, or exercising, or spending quality time with your loved ones over a game of Monopoly or Scrabble. Perhaps there is a lecture or concert you might want to see. Maybe visit an art gallery.
Hopefully this will be an educational experience for all of us.
I am planning on keeping a journal to record how this week of no TV has clensed my spirit and enriched my soul.

Man, sometimes I crack myself up. Quality time with your loved ones...yeah, riiiiiight!
;)

LOL, I was thinking the same thing. :lol:
But anyways, yeah right. I couldn't, I'd die. Look at my user name for goodness sake. I NEED the tv.
Pitooey 04-21-2003, 10:45 PM Don't forget TJL the kids are off this week for Spring vacation. If the kids don't watch the TV then they'll follow me around the house. Or they'll sing their favorite song. I'm bored, I'm bored, I'm bored...................
NO......................

Ok, so I was watching that like I always do on Monday nights, but did they screw up or something? I was doing an essay and watching at the same time, so didn't see everything. But they showed Mark, Jamie, Antione, Shane, Ruthie, Ellen, Lori, and Melissa.The second commercial came when Genesis was about to go, but when it came back, it went back to the begining when Emily, (Who I hated from day 1), decided she couldn't stay without James and went all the way to when Ruthie was DQed. Then it ended. Did I miss something?!?

Chocoholic 04-22-2003, 10:59 PM I choose not to participate in National TV Turn-Off Week. Nobody tells me when I can watch TV or what I can watch on TV. (Hear that, Parents' Television Council?)

Janice 04-23-2003, 12:17 AM My husband would go nuts without TV with baseball season in full swing.
I rarely watch TV from May on because the Red Sox are on, and we rent movies on weekends. Our shows are in hiatus anyway.
