What we havent heard a great deal about is selective viewing. We dont read every book in the library just because they are there. We use the library selectively. Why should our approach to television be any different? Shouldn't we use TV selectively? Granted, television's immediate availability makes selective viewing difficult but certainly not impossible. Your local program listings are probably the best place to begin. More often than not the program listings are read as a guide of what to watch. Why not try using them as a guide of what not to watch? Let your children read the listing of the evening selections to the entire family and then decide as a family what you are going to watch. Making viewing selections as a family allows for discussion about what makes a good program and, conversely, a bad one. Regular reading of the listings will also alert you to the outstanding special programs which television has to offer. Television critics are also an excellent source of information about what's on. Most critics will review the special programs and, in between specials, they will offer their views on televisions weekly fare. You may not always agree with them but the critics can help you be more selective in your television viewing. Finally, there may be nights not often and undoubtedly with some dissent when you decide as a family that nothing good is on. On those nights, having accustomed yourselves to prime time being family time, you can redirect your family's attention to another togetherness" activity reading a story, playing a game, going to a movie, making something. How much better it is then to decide to watch television rather than to simply watch it because "it is there 3nd you cant think of anything else to do.
