When I was a kid, I was allocated a certain small number of hours of TV per week – and video games were judged to count the same as TV.
There was a loophole big enough to drive a Mac Truck through, though – if the TV was considered “educational”, then it didn’t count against the allocated hours.
I watched a LOT of PBS – since everything that PBS showed was considered educational.

Don’t worry, Calvin. Your family is balancing out a family that watched more than 7 and half hours of tv a day.

“We’ll compromise. You can watch from 3:00 to 10:30, but it’s going to be all PBS.”

Lily Tomlin mused, “When we read a lot we are called well-read. If we watch a lot of TV, why aren’t we called well-viewed?”

If Calvin watches tv from 3:00 to 10:30, he would be watching tv for 7 1/2 hours! 0_0

Now that I have my tablet, I don’t watch TV very often. I couldn’t be one of those people who have it on all day for “company”
That’s just wasteful but we’re all different.

Calvin is such a hateful little boy. His parents do not discipline him at all. He has no respect for anyone and is extremely selfish.
