Pikers

Americans watched more television than ever in 2010, according to the Nielsen Company. Total viewing of broadcast networks and basic cable channels rose about 1 percent for the year, to an average of 34 hours per person per week.
We have the average ovine Yank beaten by a factor of at least two at telebision consumption, though there may be a slight (& fairly technical) difference between having the sound & screen on all the time (mostly in hope of disaster striking) & actually devoting what's left of our attention to the deluge of drivel.

I have entire weeks where the teebee doesn't go on, interrupted perhaps by a Sunday football game. Some months I use my car more often...
