is your Wii sitting up right on top of the TV, is it laying down some where safe?
where is it?
Mine is behind glass underneath TV.
the only real danger for it is when we/I plug GCN controllers in it.
It's BEHIND the TV, standing up.
Mines under my TV, and the TV is in a kind of whatchamacallit. Anyways, I'm sometimes worried that the TV would make the whole thing fall down and crush my Wii.
Right next to it (TV and Wii on my dresser) sitting on my surround sound box for my room standing up.
mines upright next to my tv on top of a high dresser
Right next to my tv. Even if the tv fell down which is impossible because it would have to go through a steel barricaded wall (Safe).
Next to the TV, but also next to the edge, which is bad. If it falls over, a crapload of cables come loose and the the computer would shutdown. And it's stuck there. >_>
So on a scale of one to ten, an eight.
It's pretty safe.
I have it right next to my TV in my armoire (sp?). No real dangers there.
Mine's on a decorative end table put flat, so we can put a vase of flowers on it.
So we also factor in it's functionality with it's environment. :D
Mine is on top of a tower crafted from fresh pine, coated with a shiny wax finish. We also scatter a medley of brightly-colored foliage around the base of the tower to create an outdoorsy atmosphere when I journey to the television for a night of wholesome entertainment.
Naw, it's just sitting right next to the tv, but I figured that sounded pretty boring.
standing up next to my tv, very safe
Mine sits upright in a stand that holds controllers and games as well on my dresser. Here is a picture of my NEC (Nintendo Entertainment Center)

Sitting on a coffee table in front of the TV. Very safe.
Our HDTV is on this cabinet, and I keep the Wii in there.
Well this isn't as exciting as the topic I thought it was. Oh well. My Wii sits right next to my crappy TV on it's stand. It's perfectly safe.
Obligatory unfunny Wii pun.
Only when I'm wearing a cup, otherwise it's just jeans and boxers.
Next to the TV, it has the stand and the transparent circle thing. The TV stand is against the radiator, and there is an alarm clock and a charging dock beteween the Wii and the little gap between the radiator and the wall.
I have a TV cabinet with my TV inside it, my FiOS set-top box thing on a shelf above the TV in the cabinet, and my Wii sitting horizontally on top of the TV cabinet. Considering the cabinet is extremely stable and is just a plain rectangular prism shape on the outside, the only danger my Wii is in is the possibility of the ceiling collapsing.
My Wii is under my TV in a cabnet where it is safe from the TV, only to overheat thanks to the fact that the stereo is right next to it...
my wii is in my basement.
so ya. it's safe.

does your basement flood?
My Wii has actually just been given a safety upgrade. It has switched places in the NEC with the Gamecube so it's lowwer to the floor should it fall. It's also now stored in a padded Travel Case that the system can play right out of too.
I have to admit - I thought this was going to be something about Wii's exploding under certain conditions, or something to that effect...
Now that I think about it, I'm not sure that it is in THE safest spot. It's on a entertainment unit - two mid-size cabinets with a shelf/hole in the center for the TV and a shelf over that. ( _=_ < kind of has that sort of shape) The Wii is sitting on one of those mid cabinets, next to the Game Cube. I have it standing upright on the little plastic thing it came with. I might have to re-think my set-up. you know what they say - Location, Location, Location...

well considering the fact that you still have a Gamecube to play CGN games then, i think that there won't be anything pulling on the wii, so that sounds safe to me.
On top of TV. I don't think it'll fall, unless my brother does something retarded. :P
My Wii is under my TV, as in, my TV is balancing on top of my Wii.
It's holding up okay.
