Who watches TV?

I watch a lot of TV.  And I just turned 30.  Which makes it really shocking to read the following statistics from Magna Global:

Network median age 2004-05 (October to May):
CBS: 51.8   NBC: 48   ABC: 45.3   Fox: 38   WB: 35   UPN: 32.9
The median age of the U.S. population in TV households is 37.9.

Alas!  I'm an outlier - A visit from my younger bro confirmed the statistics. He's addicted to World of Warcraft, and spend every minute of his time in our apartment roaming Mars, killing aliens and what not.  TV time?  Zero.  Someone needs to tell me why that game is so addictive...  or rather, tell me why anyone would want to be a Hilton (and I'm not even saying watching the show).

I grew up in a household where the TV went on as soon as grandma got up - 6 am(ish), and it went off when my brother finally went to bed 5 am (ish).
To this day I still turn it on when as soon as I sit down to eat.
Terrible what conditioning can do to you.
But on the upside I did well in school despite all those episodes of Batman and the Flintstones.
I found your blog on nycbloggers.
Look forward to dropping in again.
Take care
