Did you know that it is TV Turn-Off Week? I didn’t until I saw it mentioned over at TVSquad in a post. They should really put this like in the middle of July or something. Who out there that watches TV is going to stop watching their favorite shows in the final weeks of the season? Most shows are down to four or less episodes until the season is over. How about some other things we should stop for a week and spend more time outside or with the family. Stop reading the newspaper. Wait a lot of people are already doing that one. How about stop reading books. Have you seen how much time people suck up sitting by themselves reading? Maybe we should stop using our computers or no Xbox or Playstation for a week. I got it, no radio for a week. What movement do you want to start? What should we stop doing for a week? What will you be watching tonight on TV?
