Totally agree with you there. What I really hate is when parents use the telly as a free baby sitter, and households (with or without children) who have the telly on as background noise/pictures. Arg. I honestly think that watching less TV improves your quality of life, and while I can't see any harm in children watching the odd suitable program, what benefit can there be from watching hours upon hours of one way communication? Even with the grown ups I know the amount of time they spend in front of the TV/DVD player seems excessive to me.
