Russ Boston and bkcunningham1 you are both correct. I guess if we want to use a possesive when writing about TV, it should be TV', even though this looks very awkward. Without it, how do you know it is possesive? If I wanted to write "The Villages' amenities include golf, swimming pools..." I would have to write (using the abbreviated "TV") "TV' amenities include golf, swimming pools,..." It looks strange to me. Perhaps in the future I will just write out "The Villages' when using it in a possesive form.
