BigV,
How old is your son?
Have you read "In the absence of the Sacred" or "Four arguments for the elimination of Television"? Both by Jerry Mander (I'm sure he loved his parents for that one.)

You will find them extraordinary reads, if not, I'll buy them from you. I bought 20 copies of the former and gave them all away.

I suspect that you need to undo some habits. For instance. I stopped watching TV in 1977. There have been a couple of times since then that I would go on a small jag of watching x files for about half a season, or miami vice for a season. but basically, no tv. Maybe we see a video a couple of times a month.

Whatever else you do, kill your TV. It will be no less gruesome than weaning or watching your son clean up from heroin cold turkey. Do it while you can afford the lack of sleep.
