Amen to that. No cable for 11 years now. When I try to watch TV (stuck in hospital, hotel or at gym) I can’t - too slow, too crass.

Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network have such low-rent animation, not even considering the content.

For 43 days we are watching EWTN (Catholic Broadcasting) only.

I happen to go on a overnight trip and the late night check in at the hotel had only 1 tv channel.

Playing on that channel was a mortally sin yahoo filled reality show the Bad Girls Club.
( I got a good chuckle out of the whole thing)

Got up early and left (yes the same marathon was on).

There are so many non MSM tv alternatives along with non tv activities in life that parents have a choice.

Nick and such have a veiwing crowd that will buy all the stuff they advertize and those families who choose to do so have that right just as much as those who do not seek an alternative.
