I think the likelyhood of this one coming to fruition increases as each home adds another highspeed internet hook-up to it's phone and cable bill. Future generations of educators and television writers will regularly write articles in magazines bemoaning North America's increasing rates of television illiteracy. Unfortunately no one will read those magazines.

Yes, I think this is a great idea. I think that on just one day each year, TV watchers all over the world should honor their TV's by dressing them up with little hats, sweaters or t-shirts...oh hell, go crazy...wrap a boa around them...give 'em elephant or bunny ears...and tape a picture of Chalky Studebaker to the screen. Then, pull them around the neighborhood in Little Red Wagons to show your pride. To make it a real holiday, you would stop at every house along the way, where shots and beer chasers would be handed out for free.

Of course, this will spawn a "Radio Pride Day", an "iTunes Pride Day", a "Shortwave Radio Pride Day" and a "Yelling Across the Neighborhood to Let Everyone Know that Michael Jackson has Passed Away Because Your TV's are Unplugged Pride Day", which will go on indefinitely...

Don't most Americans already celebrate this 365 days a year?

in the middle on this one. TV can be honored for bringing us news. and will admit have enjoyed some good shows over the years. many people like to turn on the tube for sporting events.they would miss.of course there is good about TV and also bad. it is on too much in many households and some shows are awful crap{ matter of opinion though}maybe it could be a two day event . one day to honor the TV and the other "turn OFF the TV day.go outside do other things instead.

Why?

*grumbles*

Wow, great idea!  God only knows that whether Im watching it or not, my tv is on.

Of course, to show the contributions of great TV shows like South Park. Seriously, TV has done a lot for people, like TV news, emergency reports, informative shows, etc.

YES! Now kids can skip school and adults can skip work just to watch 24 hours of t.v.

Doesn't this exist now? Isn't it called Super Bowl Sunday?

How about National Turn Off Your Television and Do Something Useful Day. Yeah, I could get behind that one.

Yeah like I need a day just to sit around and watch mindless hours of the boob tube.
