I do not think removing TV is the answer. For every thing negative about TV I can think of an equal positive. There is an unbelievable wealth of high quality children's programming available. It provides an unfathomable amount of language experiences and provides children with something that we are not usually inclined to, repetition.

And you are right on with it being a toold children use for socialization.

Removal is not necessary but responsible viewing is. PBS is still commercial free.
