I got invited, via phone call, to participate in the Nielsen rating program today. I only dimly recall signing up for the program via TiVo two years ago, and it seems they finally pulled my name from the hat. So after I sign an agreement giving them permission to regularly poll usage data from my TiVo, I will commence helping to decide who lives and who dies.

Suddenly your TV recommendations to me have become much more heavy, hm? Bring them on...

Hmm.,

Do you get anything for this? Reduction in TiVo fees? Chocolate? Free karma?

I'm still contemplating TiVo, but $12.95 for life seems a bit heinous.

Humm, let's see....

Battlestar Galactica, Friday night.
The Daily Show, weeknights except Friday.

And I've heard good things about "How I Met Your Mother" and "My Name is Earnest", although I couldn't tell you what day they're on.

I thought you weren't allowed to tell people that you're a Nielsen household.

My Nielsen experience

[taskboy3000.livejournal.com]

In 2002, the Nielsen people selected me to be a "Nielsen family". At the time, the Sci-Fi channel had canceled Farscape, but was about to show the final four eps. So, I thought I might be able to do some good. Unfortunately, I don't have a proper TV (only a TV tuner card for my PC)
so they couldn't use me.

So, I guess I'm personally responsible for Farscape getting canceled.
