Hey now, I was partially raised by the TV!
Hey, TV's different! That was a family thing. You watched with your friends, your family. Remember "The Wonderful World of Disney" on Sundays? And the TV was actually entertaining, AND there was a message. Andy Griffith? Always a subtle message within. All I could blame my TV addiction for is what anger I have to deal with because of terrible, terrible programing stupidity and mass misinformation.
And no one, EVER, walked in front of a speeding train while watching TV!
