I used to believe that in order to get the raitings of how many people watched their show, spys would go to every house, every hour and peek into the windows to see what people watched. When ever the clock said that it was 5:59 etc. I would look out the window trying to catch the spys. My sister asked me what I was doing, and I was conviced that the spys weren't there because she talked too loud, and they heard her.
