How much TV is OK?

I have always been an evening TV watcher. It wasn't until my first child was born that I realized that I could watch TWO HOURS of ER EVERY DAY! I could watch a whole season in two weeks! After I had seen every single ER episode EVER I started watching other things. Sit coms - there are Sit-coms on TV during the day!

Of course now that I have a two year old our viewing is restricted to news or PBS Kids, Noggin, Disney cartoons, and I really do make an effort to restric viewing to specific times, specific shows, and specific limits...

How much TV do you watch? What do you watch? And if you have kids, what are your TV rules?

I stopped watching television three months ago except for Red Sox games when I visit my son. My life has changed significantly. I am more creative, productive and at peace. I live alone (with two cats) so it is not an issue. I don't know what I would do if I had kids. I may try to encourage them to do other things. When I had my granddaughters with me we did some crafts and went hiking alot. I have to admit I don't know what I would do with a two year old in the house. Especially if that child was used to watching television.

I admit, two is young for TV. I would never have started except that I needed to distract him while I took a shower. He's pretty good at finding other things to do.

I was becoming addicted to TV but found a cure. Gather.
