Neilsen, the company that tells us which crappy TV shows are the country is watching, has just released a report that we now have more TV’s than humans in the USA.

Come to think of it, I have 24 TV’s in my house alone. Just doing my part I guess.

In 2009, there were nearly 115 million TV homes in the US, each averaging 2.86 TV sets, according to a new Nielsen study.

That computes to nearly 329 million TV sets — more than the entire US population, estimated at 307 million by the US Census Bureau.

And the average number of TV sets-per-home has been growing steadily. It was up 18 percent over 2000 (2.43 sets-per-house) — and up a whopping 43 percent over 1990 (when it was two TV sets-per-home).
