10 Online Activities That Dominate Americans' Days
Social networking was the most time-consuming online activity for Americans in 2012, followed by checking email, watching online video and using search engines.

Roku Beats Apple TV In Homes With Streaming Media Devices
About 14% of all households have a streaming media device, twice the number that had one two years ago, research firm Parks Associates says. But the most interesting finding in its new report on trends in connected TV is that relatively tiny Roku handily beats the mighty Apple among people who own a streaming video media device. Some 37% go with Roku vs 24% who “primarily use” Apple TV, the company found in a survey of 10,000 U.S. broadband households early this year.

PARENTHOOD's Bravermans Arrive At PaleyFest 2013

The cast of NBC’s critically acclaimed drama series PARENTHOOD engaged its loyal audience Thursday night at the 2013 William S. Paley Television Festival.

As part of the Paley Center for Media’s 15-day tribute to TV’s top shows, both the actors from the series and executive producer Jason Katims discussed the recently concluded fourth season before an exuberant crowd at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills.

PARENTHOOD is a one-hour drama inspired by the box-office hit of the same name. This re-imagined and updated Universal Television/Imagine Television production follows the trials and tribulations of the very large, colorful and imperfect Braverman family.

One of the highlighted points of conversation was how the character of Kristina Braverman dealt with a season-long cancer diagnosis. After undergoing a mammogram, Potter relayed her experience to executive producer-creator Jason Katims but, unbeknownst to her, Katims and his writing team had already broken a cancer storyline for Kristina.
