| As if we don't have enough violence on television. |

| Children from the age of five to ten should watch more television. Television depicts adults as rotten SOB's, given to fistfights, gunplay, and other mayhem. Kids who believe this about grownups aren't likely to argue about bedtime. |

|
| Color television! Bah, I won't believe it until I see it in black and white. |
