Now the kids just watch one show after another, after another, after another. They never leave the house at all. What youngsters are seeing on that screen isn't getting any better, either.

I wonder if the ladies who took the roles in that episode were among the same group who are always complaining about stereotypes.
Television has some great uses - educational, entertaining and informing.
Like anything else, it's all in how you use it. But the siren song of television is starting to mar the face of society. The next time you turn on the box to watch your favorite show, enjoy - and when the show is over, turn the television back off. Jesse Fletcher is a journalism sophomore . All rights reserved.
