Really an excellent point, oneofmanymen. Of all the TV watching I did as a kid, the best times doing so were with my parents (especially quality time with my dad on Star Trek, hehe). I loved playing Atari games with my parents, though when Nintendo and computer games came out... I did become more solitary when playing them. But I still managed to play outdoors (into my teens) and socialize with real people the vast majority of my free time, so I think as long as my parents saw that video/computer games weren't taking up an inordinate amount of time, they were okay with it.
