Too Much T.V.

Too much television can be dangerous to any person, regardless of age. We live in a world where reality T.V. is on every channel, naked woman are in just about every video, and assassinations are broad casted on the news.

Although there are educational cartoons for children on certain channels, they are not retaining much information. A child looks at the T.V. and sees pretty colors and sings along, but when taken away and put on paper, it is like they never learned it. Having children learn from television shows takes away their understanding. They will not be able to read a Spanish textbook and know that H-O-L-A spells out what "Dora the Explorer" says at the beginning of every show.

How can anyone trust what these networks are teaching their children anyway with shows like "Family Guy" and "South Park" on the air. Best suggestion, television should go back to being a privilege and not a way of life. If and adult or child spends more time watching T.V. than they do reading a book, it is over kill.
