uneeq – I don’t believe TV is inherently bad, but there are obviously shows that portray ideals I do not agree with. And I obviously wouldn’t want to expose my kids to things that could cause permanent harm or severely limit their ability to let go of those things (drugs, immorality) just to have them be open-minded. I don’t think even exposure to the worst things on TV fits into that category, though. Yes, people learn a lot from TV, especially young children, but as long as there is some restriction on it I don’t think it is the scary monster many religious people make it out to be, and adarabah, I think labeling it as a scary monster gives children both more of an attraction to it as well as a harmful (and unproductive) feeling of guilt if they do watch it. That said, as snowbunny pointed out, there are ways for me to get my ‘fix’ without actually owning a TV, and that is one of the things I am willing to compromise on. I think you’re 100% right about the parents’ open-mindedness being the most important factor.
