Subject: From: bookworm@athena.mit.edu (Linda Martinez) Date: 1991-04-05, 06:26 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks i have twice been selected as a nielson family (strange since it is only my husband and myself) i do not know why i was chosen, maybe it has something to do with my zip code. they give you a nice, crisp dollar bill for participating, it is a pain, you have to record in half hour blocks what you are watching. you hesitate to channel hop because you do not want to screw up your viewing diary. also , you feel strange having someone know what you officially watch, you almost want to throw in a lot of washington week in review so you do not come across as some kind of idiot. i would volunteer now, if only to help tp remain on the air, otherwise we only watch sports and rented movies.
