We should keep tvs thankyou. If you're complaining about them, why are you on the internet? It's just as bad if not worse on the internet. How dare you say programs are for low iq people? Fair enough there are some stupid, and sickening, programs on. But there's also a lot of very interesting programs on. If this is how you view tv, say your side. Don't assume everyone thinks the same as you, because they don't.

You take it too serious, Ofcourse that changes from program to program but whenever i look at tv i see something irritating, specially at news. The way they tell news make me dumb. There are really nice programs too in fact documantaries for example but they are few.

I appreciate that there is alot of rubbish on and many of the things they say on tv are obvious and they treat most people like an idiot. But you have to remember, tv is for everyone, and there's always going to be some subjects people don't understand. On quest, channel 38 on freeview there are regularly interesting programs and documentaries. Alot of pointless ones too.

In my home country there are some interesting and thought provoking documentaries that can be worth watching. For example a few months ago there was a program about illegal immigration. I felt sorry for the people risking their lives to come over to a different country in the search for a better life.
For children there are some educational programs which are pleasant and teach them numbers plus letters of the alphabet. My toddler son likes to read books and watches a very limited amount of television. My oldest son watches a couple of programs on television a week. The news can be really depressing to watch. Lately I have been watching Coach Trip. It is a journey around Europe, into Asia and over to Africa.
My television is only 19 inches and I keep it in cabinet which I can close. My chair faces away from the television. I prefer to go on to the Internet. I am an educated person and I think television in moderation is fine.
