I don't have TV at all. We do have one that is plugged into a DVD player but nothing more.

My kids (ages 6 and 3) have never seen TV except for if they are at someone else's house.

They are not exposed to any commercials, no silly shows, no accidental exposure to anything unless we allow it first. My kids enjoy toys that don't need batteries, are phyically fit, spend most of their time outside, have no idea who Yu-gi-oh or Pokimon are, ask intelligent questions about the world they see around them, are excited to actually get in the van and go see something new, etc, etc, etc.

That said, we also have 4 computers in the house. They have development games that they enjoy and a few websites that they like.
