Who Are We? -- We are Viewers for Quality TeeVee (VQTV), a 10-year old viewer organization with no agenda other than influencing the American public to watch more television. Until 2001, our organization was known as the Neilsen Council on Improving TV Viewing Habits. With the demise of the Viewers for Quality Television and the recent availability of the TeeVee.org domain, we've decided to re-dub ourselves Viewers for Quality TeeVee. Welcome to our site!

VQTV POLL


Why are there so many children on television? When I turn on my television, it seems like all I see is whippersnappers. Little children with names like "Dawson", "Rory", and "Marg Helgenberger." What has this nation come to when the honored veterans of show business are shunted off to the retirement homes and graveyards like so many second-class citizens? What the television landscape needs is a return to the days of Uncle Miltie, preferably with Milton Berle himself. No longer need our precious children waste their days watching such youthful tripe as Party of Five or Survivor. We propose that the networks voluntarily adopt a measure ensuring that no television series shall have a median age lower than Sixty Minutes.
