Coming Down: Beware!
Notice the fine form of TV delivery to the ground.
We have not had a TV for about 11 years. My oldest daughter is almost 10. We have not missed it, except for election coverage (every three years in New Zealand) and some sport that Americans have probably never heard of (cricket and rugby).
I think the TV is a curse to have in the house. The the TV per se, but the effect it has on family life, spare time, and indoctrination.
Recently I was verbally ridiculed in the university tea room by a woman who thought I was damaging my children by not "being like her" and having a TV.
I would give a 9 on delivery and a 10 on completion of purpose.
