Fortunately we don't have cable, so the only channel that would have anything on for here during the day is PBS. (Although I think even they stretch the definition of "educational television" sometimes. Maybe kids should do something else OTHER than watch TV? haha  ) |
not just kids. the news and global perspective puts me in front of my TV much more often than I would like, and consoling myself with the fact that it is positive still leaves a bad taste in my mouth sometimes.. but like most americans, I am rather addicted to visual stimulation, and you can't read a book and smoke a joint, and further, I read a pile of books a week as it is, sometimes you need to take a break from active viewing with reading to passive with watching TV...
