[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious to hear everyone's no-tv reasons.[/quote]

Two reasons. 
One: It's just our lifestyle. TV is not a big form of entertainment in our home. There's one, it's not in a central place in the room, and although it's been on a lot lately due to the Olympics we can easily go three weeks or more without turning it on at all. When we want background noise we turn on the radio or Pandora or something.

Two: I believe that the way kids tv shows are filmed these days encourages short attention spans.  Look at 30 seconds of Mr. Rogers and then 30 seconds of a current tv show. Consider how low and calming Mr. Rogers' voice was, and how high-pitched and squealy the voices are now. Count how many screen jumps there are on Mr. Rogers and then how many screen jumps there are on the current show.

Three: I don't have the desire or the money to buy all the branded crap kids beg for once they start watching things like Dora.[/quote]
