Obviously good parenting is going to trump a bad TV show. I appreciate that and I didn't mean to imply that anyone here was a bad parent if they let their kid watch these shows. Like I said, TV as entertainment certainly has it's place when it's balanced with solid educational stimulation as well.
Perhaps my history of working in group homes as well as my own childhood has skewed my view of the typical parent. For me, for various reasons, the TV was a big part of my childhood and without MATHNET making me think math was cool, or Reading Rainbow or 3-2-1 Contact! I honestly don't believe I would have turned out as I did.
And I guess I unfairly targeted Treehouse with my venom. Just seems like every time I flip through it's just dribble on there.
