Televison is not bad it is the programming that is terrible. The broadcasters send us what we demand. We have not demanded good programs so we don't get them.

---

Television is bad for these reasons:

- The methods of determining who is watching what are flawed. Too often they record what the children want to watch.

- The shows also have to please sponsors, network executives, budget Accountants, and critics to get on.

- Mindless sitcoms cost a lot less to produce. Science Fiction costs more than any other kind of show,. So guess what we are inundated with.

- Network execs and critics are elitists, who don't like shows that are fun. They want sophistication that nobody enjoys. But nobody is going to watch "War and Peace."

- Too many TV "artists" want to do what they want to do, rather than what we want to watch. They think we should value their artistic skills, not the entertainment value.

- Many people will not watch shows with sexual innuendo or immorality, or shows that push liberal politics.

An example of network executive bias: A network executive was on vacation in Europe. A new show came on while he was gone. He saw it when he came back and told the vice president to cancel it. The VP said "You don't want to do that." He demanded to know why not. "It's number 1." It was The Dukes of Hazzard.

How many people watch tv while doing homework?

I don't, though many do.AnswerI do not know the percentage of people who watch TV whilst doing homework but I am sure it is quite high. I used to watch TV whilst doing homework but that was because there was no where else where I could sit down apart from the dining room table. Eventually we got a desk in a different room and within seconds I was using it and I didn't have to watch TV at the same time. It is difficult and is a time-waster as well as a distraction. Tip: DON'T DO IT! I don't know how many kids watch t.v. while doing their homework but about 23% of kids watch t.v.instead of doing their homework.

What happens if you watch TV and do not do your homework?

One time: nothing really. Five times: you'll have to make it up. All the time: you might have to redo the grade. It will lower your overall GPA about 20% in most schools. The benefits of doing homework mainly center upon the linking of the activity in question to the storage media (brain). This then allows the brain to remember the activity and therefore increase the efficiency of the activity. For example maths homework for school age, is quite repetitive, by doing these repetitive exercises the brains ability to recognise the structure of the question and answer the question quickly is enhanced. So by not doing your homework you increase your chances of not being able to achive your best in exam or time constrained situations.

Does too much tv bad and cause your brain to rot?

In literal terms, no. But too much TV is bad. Today television show too much violence, sexual images, bad language, and the use of drugs, alcohol, and smoking. Kids get exposed to these at a very young age. More than half of commercials advertise junk food and today's generation just sit around and might as well stare at a blank wall. Not all TV is bad, only TOO MUCH TV is bad. You should watch less of it or nothing at all, though there are educational shows that actually teach you things.
