Summary: Simply a BAD book.
Review: I first read this book several years ago, and it confused me. How could *anybody,* I thought at that time, write such obviously ill-researched and ill-prepared drivel and still be able to look themselves in the mirror? The author suggests that small children could not tell the difference between television and religion, owing to some EXTREMELY superficial resemblances between a TV show and a church service (this was the point I realized there was no way to take this man seriously). Now, I knew the difference between TV and religion at LEAST before the age of four, so there's a counterexample. I grew up on a steady diet of Bugs Bunny, Robotech and Voltron. Once I reached adulthood, I discovered Japanese animation. And I consider myself fairly well-adjusted.The author manages to touch briefly on fundamentalist christian paranoia toward Dungeons & Dragons and other such "toys," but his main beef in this case is toward perceived satanic influences in the media. Not nearly funny enough to recommend as a cult classic the way "Dark Dungeons" is, but if you can enjoy bad fundie rants about pop culture, do check this one out. If such things get your ire up, AVOID. One star out of five.

Summary: God bless this book
Review: Kids TV has gotten worse. Parents: do you ever watch this stuff. It's mind numbing at best, corrupting at worst. And anti-Christian to say the least. Read this book. And get your kids doing something constructive.
