Our neighbors invited us to go with them to a television preview thing tonight. This is the line that we were faced with when we got to the hotel in which it was taking place. It looks like there were a lot of excited people. They really shouldn't have been so excited. The whole experience really sucked. We sat in a room with about 200 people for two and a half hours and watched tiny TV screens that were on the other side of the room. The shows were crappy and there were more questions about the commercials than there were about the shows. Makes me suspect that the real goal was to collect data for advertisers (mostly of toilet paper, acid reflux medicines and frequent urination problems) not about the shows. To top it all off there was no compensation. We weren't even provided with water. So, if ever invited to go to a Television Preview event, don't go!!
