Turn Off TV Week

by

2008challenge.jpg

Are you up for a fun challenge? April 21-27 is Turn Off TV Week over at Unplug Your Kids. Think you can turn off the boob tube for an entire week? If so join in the challenge!

Take a week off from TV, or if you already don’t watch try to take a week off of other “screen time”. Share it on your blog and then come back in a week and share how it went. Did you notice any changes in your kids? How about in yourself? Who lost weight from not sitting on the couch as much? Are you going to continue the no-TV time or run back to all the shows you missed.

Any bets that Lost fans won’t be able to make it?

The challenge comes during the week that Earth Day falls in, so you can also think about how much electricity you are not using by keeping the TV off.

    As a LOST fan, I must admit you’re right. I don’t want to miss Lost’s return on the 24th. Does it count if I DVR it?

    I would love to do this….now if I can only convince DH….
