The Nielsen Ratings
Well, once again, I have started to keep my "TV Viewing
Diary" for a week......Yep, I can say that I did my little
bit for the TV ratings business......This is my second time

It is a little bit of an inconvenience to maintain a diary
for each TV you are watching in the house......It is all done

finished and the diaries are mailed back to Florida.......
I guess for some legal reason, they do pay you for
maintaining the diary......They send you "one buck".....

be found to tell the Networks what TV shows people are
watching, but for this week I am doing it the olde
fashioned way - a diary......Pumps
