My kids watch an hour every morning and then often a little bit towards dinner time if I need to get things done solo. We use the abc iview app on the ipad here and they pick and choose their own shows. Dd was a playschool only girl until 3 when I introduced other shows. Now at 4 I have introduced her to movies like Cinderella. Ds is of cause exposed to all this at under 2. He has watched more tv than I would have liked, but hey, I'm a working mum studying my masters with my main support interstate. You do what you have to!

I was a tv addict as a child and still love tv each day. I think it depends on your child. Dd can watch quite a bit before getting narky. Ds has no ill effects at all.
