National Turn Off Your TV Week - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TJL · 04-20-2003, 11:37 PM

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!
