At my home, we have watched on television often shows that involve mysteries and suspense. They can be interesting, but then there can be very much often the problem of images that come up in those shows and values promoted. Also, I don't really mind so much seeing "rated G" or children's movies, except that even in those, especially now, one can find some immodesty and bad ideas. For example, recently I saw the movie Ratatouille. The main character of the rat seems all cute and funny, but aside from that there is implied the idea that the late famous chef to whom he honors had a son out of wedlock. Plus, the woman who works in the restaurant is shown to be all tough and wears pants sadly.

Hence, it's really BEST to stay away from watching TV.

But then again, it's always hard to break away family ties. They think you're being bossy whenever you object. What a hard struggle for us who wants complete holiness of life.
