Book Description

From Library Journal

From San Francisco Public Broadcasting

System affiliate KQED comes Chen's guide to children's television. For

20 years the public conception of children and TV has gone hand in hand

with words like addiction, exploitation, and plug-in drug. To those who

suggest turning it off or throwing it away, Chen (currently director of

the KQED Center for Education and Lifelong Learning and formerly with

Children's Television Workshop) more realistically responds with a call

to control its use. Likening this type of control to watching one's

food intake, he prescribes a family TV diet plan, under which children

ask to watch a certain program, not just "watch TV." He delves into the

use of VCRs, the worth of camcorders, and the dangers of video games.

Mr. Rogers is spoken of glowingly, and the oft-maligned Barney comes

through with positive stats. Chen praises reading, abhors violence, and

talks common sense. A very worthwhile purchase for public libraries.
