Well put, EL. I've known more people who have ruined their lives and careers and health wasting their time on the internet than those that watch TV.
TV sucks because of the lack of interactivity.
Very little that some would consider entertainment is interactive.

We've got two. One upstairs and one down.Ditto Ditto squared I don't watch much TV. Kids' TV watching is cyclical more in the winter, hardly at all in the summer.

4.....1 downstairs family room, 1 teeny-tiny one in the sunroom, one above the bar, and one that use to go into my van on long trips (have dvd now). My living room has a built in entertainment center for big screen, but kitchen, living room, and bedrooms are banned from tv. It's too accessible.
TV sucks because of the lack of interactivity.If you could only see the interactivity my boys put into a go-cart race on the playstation ..competitive snots like their father..mom says.

figured Pebs would have gotten to this by now
but we currently have 2 hooked up with another in storage til we move.
How could anyone say that TV isn't interactive with quality shows like
The Batchelor
or Amazing Race (whatever #) LOL
Two - one works, one barely (no sound). I've noticed a sudden increase in usage lately, and <gasp>, it' been tuned to baseball.
One in our room w/vcr
One in the Living room, w/vcr
One in manland (basement) w/vcr

What sort of familial environment are you creating when everyone in the house is encouraged to isolate themselves from the rest of the family? And how can you monitor what and how often they watch TV if you are never in the same room? Nope, I have one TV and only one TV in my house and it will always be that way, even when my Guppy arrives. We barely watch TV as it is. But that's just me. :)

You can monitor what they watch by not having cable/antenna/sattelite dish and only using tapes/DVDs.

oh geeeeze, here goes:
one in basement for Playstation
one in family room
one in bedroom
and my son saved his money and bought a little one for his room.
i thought this would be the end of my seeing him--he never turns it on.
he'd much rather watch Junkyard Wars with me downstairs. or Jackass. or whatever quality program we surf upon.
tv is limited to one hour a day here and it is "savored" by both of them.

I have one and its so old it only gets one channel. That's okay with me, the only show I really want to watch is Law & Order.
