Also highly recommend my favorite "Due South". I'd recommend "Early Edition' but not all seasons exist on DVD.

When we paid for cable internet he discovered he could hook the TV to it and get lots of channels without paying for them. I thought that was terribly dishonest. (As well as being very annoyed at the amount of TV my husband watched.) However, when I discovered that blocking the channels meant that our internet connection barely worked anymore, I changed my mind. =)Katerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645403612156172760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-12306562265919681912009-11-28T00:05:17.274-05:002009-11-28T00:05:17.274-05:00I always have and always will "Love Lucy"...I always have and always will "Love Lucy". she was the best.

Even if not taught at home ..a child could watch a sitcom and get a lesson in honesty, etc. and have some laughs along the way. They also saw people treated with respect and reap consequences if they did something wrong.<br /><br />My girlfriend's mother always wore a dress and stockings like June Cleaver..even for housework... although lower shoes for cleaning and not dress shoes. She was the closest to June Cleaver that I ever saw. :)<br /><br />We have never had HBO or any of the others although we do have the step up from basic.. but there are so many good things on there like the history channel, political channels, etc. Unfortunately.. there is garbage too.<br /><br />I too decided we would not have HBO because I didn't want trashy movies coming into our house. Like you..my husband went along with it.<br /><br />But when older son was little about 7 ..we were getting free HBO coming in and I didn't know it. It was a friend who stayed over one night that told me son got up at 4:30 am and was watching an ADULT movie!<br /><br />It turns out that he had been getting up early every morning watching these adult movies! I have always been a parent who screened what the kids could see and/pr if they did see something on the news, etc..have a discussion about it to put our values on the situation..get them thinking, etc.<br /><br />I called the company several times insisting that they remove this cable from our home but they said they couldn't because they were working on something in our area.<br /><br />I am with your wife about the honesty. I know people who get things for free because they hook up themselves but I just think it's robbing someone's income and what if we all did that? And how would we feel?<br /><br />I've never bought entire seasons but would like to sometime. M*A*S*H* was one of my favorites too. And I love Seinfeld, Frasier, SCRUBS ..but Elaine buying up all the spermacidal sponges in the spongeworthy episode is not exactly a good role model for the kids. When older son was 16 and we faithfully watched the weekly episodes of Seinfeld..I did say.. you can appreciate the humor but it's not okay to sleep around, etc.. but I know..my message was greatly watered down by doing that. But then it is life also and in the end.. we do our best to raise our children with the values we perceive to be right .. an hope they will make choices based on what they learned from us.<br /><br />But I do think the media has a powerful impact on forming minds and children are sexualized at younger ages.<br /><br />What about just childhood innocence and fun?<br /><br />Loved the post and linked it. :)SeaSprayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906503090688697222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-29529587175661175272009-11-27T12:27:47.566-05:002009-11-27T12:27:47.566-05:00i really have to watch some of these shows. as yo...i really have to watch some of these shows. as you know, i grew up in a house where we really only did watch PBS, so i feel pretty out of touch. you make these sound so fun and appealing. :) <br /><br />hope you and "wife" and "kids" had a great holiday!!Marcy Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552202032905289250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-89702223265233084802009-11-27T10:37:18.627-05:002009-11-27T10:37:18.627-05:00We cancelled our cable years ago-I get 3 channels ...We cancelled our cable years ago-I get 3 channels via antenna-that's right-3.
