I think that TV can add to your scope of knowledge but you have to be selective about what you watch because there is so much garbage and violence on most of the channels. Peggy Don't have any favorite shows. I listen to the radio. When I do watch TV I like to watch a good movie. John My fondest memory of TV past is recalling the times when we could watch anything aired with anyone and know that no one in the room would not be embarrassed by either the show itself or even commercials.
Television today is generally overly violent and or sexually oriented.
Unfortunately, women and now even men's sexuality are extremely exploited for the sake of sensationalism and the buck. I'm curious what values young people today are learning by the content of today's programs, and life styles they project. Brian Tom Green Show. Warren Wheel of Fortune, Jag, Walker, Texas Ranger, Nashville Network-News. I feel it is an insult to the intelligence to the television watching audience to have so many channels to watch and so little material worth watching.
