i watched tv as a kid, so did my friends and I think we'll survive - tv is a wonderful medium for communicating ideas and connecting cultures, bad parenting should have no excuse.
ART is right about people underestimating the effect the media has on us, it forms the world around us, many of our values are formed through the media it creates a framework in which we can interact. What tv cannot do is change people if your kid shows you no respect by quoting tv quips take away the tv and your stil left with a kid who shows you no respect but will find other ways to express this.
Why not try watching the tv with the kids
