TiVo: 86% of Americans give Father's Day the cold shoulder

A new survey commissioned by TiVo points to what many fathers have been saying for years: Dads do, in fact, get slighted on Father's Day. The study reports that 86% of Americans shell out more money on Mother's Day than they do on Father's Day. It's a finding bolstered by research that indicates only 51% of those surveyed plan on celebrating the 'holiday' at all.

In an effort to help reluctant gift-givers zero in on what would really make Dads' day--and begin to reverse the troubling trend--the survey also explores what his favorite activity is. As it turns out, watching TV is the most popular pastime for pops, topping outdoor activities, home improvement and even reading.
