Americans watch more TV than ever

New data released by the Nielsen Company indicates that Americans watched more TV than ever before. Good news for everyone in the television industry except for the people working on Outsourced, a show that still has more cast members than viewers.

On average each person in the U.S. watched 34 hours of television a week. Personally I watched so much TV because I was praying for Bristol Palin to break her leg mid-tango on Dancing With The Stars, I suspect many of the blue states have the same reason for watching so much TV.

So here's to 2011, let's do it big and step up television watching to a full time job, 40 hours a week and we'll all be paid in painful mediocrity! Personally I can't wait to see if House is gonna be able to diagnose and treat the next weird disease that threatens everyone in the hospital (if I was a betting man, I'd say he can do it), and who knows, maybe The Simpsons will be able to recapture the spark it lost a decade ago.
