Are you referring to conversational English or grammatically correct English? All are correct for conversation though some sound a bit stupid or silly. Grammatically, only 6 is correct. Both letters in TV should be upper case. The word for is not to be used as in sentences 4 and 5. Parenthesis are not needed or correct. 1 might be correct though awkward grammatically. Sounds good to the ear though. 4 is correct technically, but it is awkward and wordy.

1 and 7 are grammatically correct.
2 and 3 aren't as both letters of TV should be upper case.
4 and 5 aren't as you don't need the word "for"
Also I believe you mean parentheses rather than prantices.

2, 3, 6, and 7 are grammatically correct, but the better versions are the ones without parentheses (2 and 6)--there's really no need to make "a day" parenthetical.

1,2,3,6,7 are correct. 4,5 are incorrect -the word 'for' is not used in this sense.
