The average American home now has more television sets than people--a threshold crossed within the past two years, according to Nielsen Media Research. There are 2.73 TV sets in the typical home and 2.55 people, the researchers said.
In the average home, a television set is turned on for more than a third of the day--eight hours, 14 minutes, Nielsen said. That's an hour more than it was a decade ago. Most of that extra TV viewing is coming outside of prime time, where TVs are on only four minutes more than they were 10 years ago. The average person watches four hours, 35 minutes of television each day, Nielsen said.
I'm all for a good show, but I wonder what could be accomplished with part of those four hours, 35 minutes?

Pastor,
How do you get 2.73 tvs? Are there parts of tvs laying around houses now?
I think the .73 are the old b/w televisions that don't work as good. You've got to be color to be counted as a full tv. Or maybe it's tv's that don't have cable or satellite--just an antennea.
