- If I watched every TV show (that I liked at one time) that’s 14-16 hours of shows a week
- the DVR saves me about 4-5 hours for those shows (if I watched them all)
- found google trends
- the top 100 search terms updated about hourly
- or you can enter a term and it graphs its relative popularity over the last few years
- try soup, Olympics, money and elections
- when baseball season comes around that’s more watching hours
- the average household watches something like 60+ hours per week
- that is astounding to me
- but it also explains alot
- most of the google trends search terms made sense except for
- fibonacci sequence
- which was later explained when I watched Fringe on the DVR
- The proposed Metrocard fees are getting me pissed off
- Is there no rail, bus, plane line that operates well and on a profit?
- last night many search terms were from House
- on ebay they can actually see fewer bids when American Idol is on
- it was a mystery at first
- if I walked or ran instead of watching tv, thats about 45 to 100 miles per week
- or about 1 to 3 pounds in calories
- that’s every week!
- America needs to walk 1 hour for every 2-3 hours watched.
- imagine.
