Absolutely and Absolutely. Nothing impacts a person like things that they see. Images stay in your mind and you cannot detox from them like you can from other things that you may ingest. They are so influenced by ideals that are portrayed through humor and through animated characters saying them. Granted it has it's uses such as PBS and other learning programs. Putting a limit on television is just like limiting ones diet or use of anything. It's healthy for you. Over indulgence in any one thing can be dangerous to ones health be it physical or mental. When I limited my kids television viewing, they changed significantly for the better. They enjoyed playing outside more, they enjoy reading more, and actually get more out of life, instead of watching some fictional character get fictional enjoyment out of a fictional life.
