re: How many TVs in the typical house?

I'd say it's not particularly normal, wouldn't say abnormal. When I was growing up my sister and I each had TVs in our own rooms after a certain age, also had 3 other TVs in the house in the kitchen, den, and small guest bedroom my parents did most of their tv watching in.

Right now my roommate and I have 3 TVs between the two of us, one in the living room area and one in each of our rooms.

I'd say you're definitely in the minority outside of single occupant apartments or houses most likely.

Are your kids really young or something? Not sure how you could get away with that without having massive bitching. Would seem to be a pain in the butt if you are wanting to watch some sports or a movie and the kids or wife are wanting to watch something else.
