NO, and I’ll comment on why not. I grew up in the 50’s in a community where it was common to have a TV. In those days it was much cleaner and more benign than it is now.My parents didn’t have one, but, when I went to the neighbors to watch occasionally they didn’t object. In school my friends would always discuss certain shows they’d seen the night before and I felt left out. I told myself that when I am earning my own money I will buy myself a TV. When I started working I was already in seminary and I realized that I absolutely did not ever want a TV in my home.And today I for sure do not ever want a TV. I do have internet and I only access certain Jewish websites like this one, send e mail, pay bills and do some shopping and research on line, but, that’s it and my children never have access to the internet at home at all.
