[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 408869, member: 3493"] We only got cable a couple of years ago. My kids all have their favorite shows - oldest boy and difficult child love the Military History and regular history channels, PC14 likes the how it's made type shows and baby boy likes anything science and nature oriented. daughter doesn't have a TV at college but she likes to watch Glee (she's in an a capella singng group and a girl band) on line. My favorite shows are NCIS, SVU, Good Wife and anything true crime and forensics. Ironically, I do not care for CSI or Criminal Minds. I love history channel as well and can tolerate Hitler's many bodyguard shows (difficult child once asked why Stalin didn't have any!) I also enjoy NY, NJ and Beverly Hills Housewives, I think because they made me feel so good about my parenting skills. As for video game systems, a few years ago, the 3 oldest boys pooled their $ and bought an X-box 360, Youngest boy saved his money and bought himself a used DS lite. He has pokemon, star wars and lego type games, nothing violent. I have not allowed my oldest boys to play Halo or the one where you get points for killing pedestrians. They do have Call to Duty and Medal of Honor and now Black Ops because at least there's some history in them. As for the foul language, oldest boy and PC14 curse too much, difficult child NEVER does and when his brothers do, he rolls his eyes and tells them that it's a sign of immaturity and of having a poor vocabulary. I have not bought a single game for any of them, other than Star Wars type games that I find OK. There are some shows that I try to keep away from them. Fortunately, they seem to have outgrown the Simpsons, which I despise but H lets them watch the one with the annoying talking dog (Family Guy?). We don't watch that much regular TV. [/QUOTE]
