Reply #47: I don't even own a television. [View All]

You'll notice I didn't say "T.V.", because "T.V." is a nickname, nicknames are for friends, and Television is no friend of mine.

Wait, that's an absolute lie, I just wanted to quote David Cross. My soon-to-be-8-year-old and I watch the science channel together all the time. And I'm OK with my kids watching cartoons, within reason. Of course, all my kids would rather play videogames or use the computer than watch TV anyway. My kids learned to count to 100 playing Crash Bandicoot and to read playing Paper Mario (which has more text than your average novel in my estimation). You see, with a minimal amount of effort, you can trick them into learning through things they want to do anyway.

Like every other thing in existence, it's all in how you use it and moderation is key.
