Bad TV = Bad children? GTF outta here. Television doesn't make the child bad, acceptance of bad behavior does. I grew up watching tv in my spare time, and still do. I used to do homework while my father watched his soaps. Perhaps a child reacts bad because of a show he watched - it's up to the parent to set him (or her) straight. Our society is becoming too reliant on others setting the standards for our children, and then getting pissed off for setting them. Bottom line - if you think tv is too much for your kids, shut it off. But even better, get more involved in wtf your kids are doing.
