Their eyes may ‘have glazed over more. Maybe the pets got fewer walks. All because daily tele- vision viewing hit an all-time high in 1983 — an average séven hours, two minutes a household. Except for children between ages two and 11, viewing increased in every agé group in 1983, said a A.C. which reported the record, ‘Think about it. A typical day for & But viewing and seeing may be two different things, said Steven Holt, general manager of Television Audience Assessment Inc. “Viewers are watching TV in a buzzing environment, with all sorts of distractions,” Holt said. “The number of hours may have increas- ed, the sef¥ are surely on, but people can’t possibly be sitting in front of the TV all those hours and getting the dishes washed, fixing the meals and cleaning the house, too.” Holt's company did an April sur- vey saying that audience attentive ness had diminished.

In breaking the 1982 record by 14 minutes of TV a day, 1983 ranks with other TV-addiction milestones. The five-hour barrier was broken in 1966, the- six-hour viewing fixation came in 1971. Viewing in 1983 was up in 11 months, January and February, the months when TV-watching becomes a warm alternative to the outdoors, had respective consumption levels of seven hours, 38 minutes and seven hours, 33 minutes. The lowest level was six hours, 23 minutes of TV a day in both June and July. “No one factor accounts for the tremendous jump,” said. Jeremy Handelman, a CBS researcher. “In general, this additional viewing is likely to come from a variety of groups, watching a variety of programs.
