I do agree that there might be some relation between gifted kids learning from TV as opposed to other kids who just zoom out and don't get that much out of the shows
My kids don't zone out either.
Instead it's questions, comments, questions, comments, questions, comments (siiigh) ...mostly about how the show was made, how much of the content is real, how much is fiction. Could that happen in real life? Was that done with a computer? etc etc etc etc. DH and I tape shows and watch them after the kids go to bed so we can watch in peace and quiet.
