"Do you know we are ruled by TV?" -- from the poem An American Prayer by Jim Morrison


"They put an off button on the TV for a reason. Turn it off . . . I really don't watch much TV." -- President George W. Bush, C-SPAN interview, January 2005


"American children and adolescents spend 22 to 28 hours per week viewing television, more than any other activity except sleeping. By the age of 70 they will have spent 7 to 10 years of their lives watching TV." -- The Kaiser Family Foundation


"You watch television to turn your brain off and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on." -- Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer and Pixar, in Macworld Magazine, February 2004


"Everybody's got values . . . The thing that frightens me is the way that an eroding public school system . . . and television on all over the place is leading to a steady dumbing down of the American public and a corrosion of basic critical thinking in the population." -- Jamie Raskin, American University law professor, November 2004 on the Democracy Now! radio program


"Protestant clergy named divorce, negative influences from the media, and materialism as the three greatest threats to families in their communities." -- from an Ellison Research study of 695 Protestant church ministers nationwide, October 2004


"The media can wreak great harm on the family when it offers an inadequate or even distorted vision of life, of the family itself and of religion and morality." -- Pope John Paul II, May 2004

Average daily allotments of household and individual television viewing increased from the previous year to reach all-time highs during the 2005-06 season.


"These results demonstrate that television still holds its position as the most popular entertainment platform," said Patricia McDonough of Nielsen Media Research. "At this point, consumption of emerging forms of entertainment, including Internet television and video on personal devices, seems not to be making an impact on traditional television viewing."


The total average time per household in 2005-06 was eight hours and 14 minutes per day.
