[Emma has proposed in a town meeting that Dog River participate in Turn Off Your TV Week]
Lacey Burrows : I don't watch TV, so missing a week of it would be a breeze for me. Well, I do watch one show - So You Think Your Kid Can Dance - but that's it. Last night was actually pretty good. There's this kid from Cincinnati and his dad just lost his job, his mom's in jail. So this little kid - he's eight years old - he danced his heart out. I called in and voted for him, like, ten times. You can do that. You can do that. You can call them however many times you want.
Karen Pelly : I think we should give up TV just to get Lacey off the junk.
