We have tv but we don't watch it that much. I like DWTS and a couple of others but mostly I turn on the criminal investigation ones that can be just listened to. We have an 11 yr old and have (and still do) monitor what she watches and how much time is spent on tv. (she's never seen an episode of the Simpsons or anything like it). For the most part we prefer to paint, sew or read. She's just discovered the art of making woven potholders so we're building quite a collection of those.
