Media of all forms cause all different kinds of reactions to children.
The important factor, which seems to be ignored, is that the parents are STILL just plopping Jr. down in front of the TV and going about their daily lives. They are obviously not taking part in their children's TV watching experiences, which is very sad, and is PROVEN when they have to specifically go and monitor what they're watching.
If you don't already know what your kids are watching on TV, then YOU are already the problem, not the TV. People need to be more mindful of their children's habits in general, not just TV viewing.
I don't understand how parents can drop their kids in front of the TV for hours on end and suddenly wonder HOW the TV could POSSIBLY have had so much influence on them. These parents, like many, are complete idiots.
