Gas is at an all-time high and people are trying to save money, and ABC has a solution: stay at home and watch television.The network has named the week of September 21st "National Stay At Home Week." It's the week when many of their shows (including Grey's Anatomy, Opportunity Knocks, and Ugly Betty) premiere for the fall season and they think it's a perfect time to stay home, save gas, and catch up on your favorite shows (and new ones). It also happens to be the day of the Emmys. The network starting to show promos for the special week (check out one of them after the jump).
Of course, these returning shows and new shows are on in primetime, and viewers still have to work during the day, so they'll still be using that gas. Unless ABC is telling people to stay home all day and night that week and also watch Good Morning America, The View, and All My Children.
We here have been celebrating this week for years. Every week and every month.

How about National Stay at Home Week with no TV? Not only will you save gas, but you'll conserve energy and avoid exposure to insipid TV advertising that might tempt you to frivolously expend more gas & energy.
