TiVo is great and has allowed us to at least feel like we're keeping somewhat in touch with the world that exists outside of diapers, pacifiers and sleep training. That said, the only thing that my kid has ever watched on TV is the goddamn Chicago White Sox, despite the fact that my wife and I had an agreement before we were married (approved by the priest that married us, no less) that any children would be babtised Catholic (for her) but raised Cubs fans (for me). I know that the Cubs are godawful this year, but there are worse things than Barney - like Ozzie.
