Harry watches ABC in the mornings, he loves bananas in pyjamas, sesame street, and the koala brothers. Then during the day he might watch one DVD but often he only watches for a few minutes then goes off and plays. When he does that I turn it off so we don't just have the TV going in the background all day.
I do admit to using the TV as a way to get some peace and quiet sometimes, but I don't feel that is a negative thing. It is balanced out by play and outings.
