Our TVs now outnumber us at home

For the first time, there are more TVs in our houses than there are people. Nielsen Media Research says the average US home has 2.73 televisions and 2.55 people. (That leaves .18 of a television for the dog to watch Animal Planet.) Half of the homes in the US have three or more televisions. In 1975, 57% of the homes had just one TV. And they were forced to watch The Waltons. What a terrible, terrible time.
