I don't have scientific data, but I think plenty of perfectly nice weekends are being given over to the binge craze.

I love commercials. I love to hate commercials, too. I talk back to them.

I do get lots of links to advance screeners, which helps, but there's no way I could do my job without the full-on cable subscription.

We got Arbitron diaries at my house in the 1980s, when the family was down to just my mother and me, and we tried for a couple of days to fill it out (I of course treated it like we'd been asked to write a new book of the Bible), but we got really bored with it and gave it up.

Mobster stories are always a harder sell for me. I don't romanticize organize crime the way others do, though I can be swayed.
