Why would you possibly care what was on TV? Because you're afraid your kids will watch it. Why would your kids possibly watch it without your supervision? B/c <i>you've given them their own TV</i> . That's American Family for you!!!!<br/><br/>I watched tons of TV as a child, and I liked it a lot. Unlike most non-TV watchers, I don't have anything against it--I just don't watch it to save time. (I mostly go through the Daily Show/Colbert online.) I often wish I had time to watch PBS and Current and even a little bit of the networks. <br/><br/>You know what about those tons of TV shows I watched as a child? I watched them <i>supervised</i>. My mother put much more than the fear of God in me when it came to what I watched. I still remember the mountain of disapproval that came crashing down on me the ONE time I dared try to change the channel from Childrens Television Workshop to soap operas. Of course, this was also a woman who started showing me Hitchcock when I was 7 and took me to see The Last Emperor when I was 9, but the point is, she was <i>there</i>. When she wasn't there, I could read a book or play, but no TV. Honestly, she just told me no TV, and I pretty much listened, but it's actually possible to lock the plug if you can't trust your kids. It's not that hard.<br/><br/>So if you're going to use a TV as a babysitter, and stick one in their rooms so you can watch your shows without them, I have zero sympathy for you. Well, maybe a little. My mother says watching Sesame Street with me and goofing off and singing the wacky songs are some of her fonder memories of our childhoods, so I guess I feel sorry for the people who miss out on that because they've so killed their inner muppet they can't be silly even with their kids. Which sounds a lot like these people.  <br/><br/><a></a><a></a>Posted by<a><b> </b></a><a HREF="http://ssrdatta.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow" TITLE="sahelidatta at hotmail dot com">Saheli</a> GAH.
