Forget to mention that i have filled out 2 mini surveys in the past couple months(they both were identical surveys). The survey where they send you 2 dollars at first to fill out your info and send you 5 dollars after you send it back in.

I received 2 Nielsen TV diarys and 30 dollars in cash in a big cardboard envelope yesterday. They had put a 20 and a 10 in there. I have to keep track of 2 tvs for a week and send it back in and they already paid for the stamp.

I got a survey (not a diary) from them in January with $2 in it. I’ve always wanted to have my say in how much crap is on TV so I filled it out. Then last week I got a bigger packet, with a couple of diaries and $30 in it. And I don’t even get to write in my regular shows because it’s the olympics this week. Oh well, maybe they’ll pick me again sometime.

We got one several years ago and did it. I finally felt like my opinion counted for something and since we don’t watch all that much TV, it wasn’t hard to do.

I remember doing the Nielsen diary maybe fifteen years ago. I thought it was fun and not too hard.

I’ve done the harris poll and the nielsons both. I filled them out and sent them back so that they’d know that not everybody thinks that crap they put on television is worthy of my time. infact I remember putting down the news and pbs / bbc programs only. yepper that’s what I watch. the rest of it is for dh.

I used to want to be asked to do this but now I rarely watch tv. I’d keep the $5 and I would write down what I could remember if I thought about it. I’d be honest, I would’t make it up but I’d tell them the tv was on but no one was watching it. Which is exactly what happens here, unless they count the dog and the cat as viewers.

The first time, I heard from Nielsen, I didn’t even have a TV. I invested my five bucks in drug paraphenalia and mufflers to keep me from listening to the sounds from the people next door who were watching TV. I made all my stuff up in the diary, and I still haven’t bought a TV, although I’m getting my crisp ones on a regular basis.

I think I would fill it out. I like being asked for my opinion!

I would definitely keep the five and at least make a half hearted attempt to fill out the form
