Okay, let me rephrase myself, a family program. It was Full House or Hannah Montana or something. Not a cartoon, but a child oriented show. I would love to be able to afford to go buy them movies, or even pay for some of the more child appropriate channels, but being I don't make enough to cover the bills, I doubt that's going to happen any time soon. Not everyone has that luxury, which is why I don't understand why they air them in the first place.

But the point is, you can turn off the TV. It frightens me to hear a parent say "I can't control." If the parent can't, who can. But if you condition a 5 year old to grow up only on TV as the babysitter, instead of 1) Legos 2) coloring books 3) drawing 4) turning cleaning into a game 5) writing (insert person) a "letter" 6) puzzles 7) playing a creative game--you get the idea, then said child will NO MATTER what, grow up indoctrinated by everything on TV. I was that child and I know. I expected if I ran to my room crying, a Carol Brady response was to follow. It's not just beer commercials. I may sound like I haven't a clue, but I have. I hear so much hostility and you are fighting and justifying. YOu have aired this for the paper to see. It's time to turn off the TV--or accept the consequences of your free babysitter. I have seen this too much in my profession and friends. The time to fix it IS at age 5, not 13.
