How old is your son? My kids aren't afraid of the TV exactly but my daughter in particular (now 8) find a lot of programs and especially movies to be scary. Like, she thought the Lego movie was too scary, and she wanted to even leave Planes because of the hurricane scene.
I've found that the pop culture gap has shrunk more than I expected. Now she has friends who are reading books she's read, and she's developed an interest in some of the crafts currently popular with other girls her age, like making bracelets. And sometimes I bribe her with pizza and new books to sit down and watch a Disney movie or something.
My 4-year-old, who has even less exposure to pop culture, is actually very knowledgeable about pop culture--because he's so very more socially-oriented than his sister and picks it up straight from the other kids at school.
