We do not have broadcast or cable TV. We do have one television in the house. It is in the basement hooked up to Netflix, but DD does not like going down there. She has seen a dozen or so movies, some nature and travel shows, and a few dinosaur trains and sesame streets. We make it kind of special like an every other weekend thing--mommy sleeps in, daddy and DD snuggle in the basement watching the original Star Wars.
I swear by not having a television in living areas. It is so calm. We travel a lot, and one of the things I hate about hotels are the big screen TVs in the middle of the rooms. They seriously throw us off.
