I think it's sad if a family uses tv as a means to avoid communicating with each other, but if it's sometimes a part of family dinner time/bonding over shows, NBD.[/quote]

I am very for family dinners at the table, at as consistent of a time as possible - but I do agree with this. #1. Sometimes is key - I think more than once or twice a week is too much, IMO. #2. If it is an interactive show like Jeopardy, that could definitely be a "family fun time" if you're discussing the answers, learning things, trying to guess before they do, etc. It's when people are sitting passively it really concerns me.

This, really.  We don't usually eat dinner in front of the TV, since we try to have family dinner, but if we're eating later for some reason and the toddler is in bed, we might eat in front of the TV if there's a game we want to watch or if we're watching a TV show that we really like and we want to get in two episodes before bed.
