I agree with the OP regarding TV. But I can also say the EXACT same thing about computers and the internet. The internet has made it more easier to access sex, violence, apathy, gossip, disasters etc. Don't get me started on games. They are as worse and even more addictive than TV, well it was for me personally. I never grew up really watching much TV but I did spend a ridiculous amount of time playing games and surfing forums. I've uninstalled all my games from my PC and selling them online and its been a huge relief for me. But still I can't stop thinking about playing them again. for me its as addictive as cigarettes.
Basically there are both good and bad sides of TV. Nowadays the only channel I really watch is the discovery and history channel, now and then sci-fi. I get to watch the simpsons and seinfeld. Currently I've been watching a lot of the olympics and seeing those athletes has inspired to go back swimming.
You just have to filter the dirt and rocks to get the gold.
