TV is probably the least harmful of entertainments nowadays. You see all these other things the kids are addicted to--video games, the internet, shopping--TV isn't really a problem anymore. I remember a time when parents were desperate to keep their kids from sitting in front of a TV, watching mind numbing nonsense that kept them from their studeis.
But today, among the teenagers, at least, it's not much of a big thing anymore. When do you see a kid sitting there, watching TV for the fifth hour that day, unable to take their eyes off the moving pixels? In fact, I don't remember the last time I watched TV for over an hour.
The only times I've even thought about watching TV was when my favorite show, House, came on. 40-60 minutes, one day per week. The most I'll watch this year, thanks to the addition of Glee, will be 80-120 minutes every week.
Yeah, I'd say TV has become a great source of entertainment, and without the negativity from parents or researches with nothing else to poll.
