Since adding kiddos to the household, I'm scrutinizing my TV viewing much more closely.
Should kids watch reality TV? What about police dramas? CSI shows? At what point does all the blood and guts start effecting them?
And the final question: Should we watch Glee?
I like Glee. But I don't completely agree with all the messages the program conveys. As an adult, I can discriminate between these messages (although I am not immune to the power of these messages either). But can a child? Is it a good idea to watch things that clearly conflict with the message from church I want them to catch?
So, these are the questions that I am wrestling with. Fortunately, the kids have been willing to listen to my suggestions for TV watching. But now, Spongebob Squarepants has less than stellar reviews...

My wife and I gave up on glee half way through last season - became too much of a commentary on growing up gay - it seemed like 1 in 4 characters was gay or bi. So for us, we chose not to support such a show. Plus, the writing just plain got boring.
Ryan,
I think I am going to give it up too. It really goes over the top with some of what it is trying to sell.
The gimmick of using one artist per episode was fun, but got way over used (plus, the figure out the message was getting too easy).
