Last week I lookedr:throngh ; the T.V. Times: in, the London Free Press : ttpd picked out some programs both good and bad for fandly viewing. Most kids like shows with comedy ,or a family story. Programs such as Happy • Days, Eight is ,Enough, Three's Company and La- verne and Shirley are the best,examPfes Of a little bit of bofh. Kids in grades six and up usually prefer shows like W.K.R,P. in Cincinatti .or_Lis_tening_to_a_puppet_seem& eART0 ONS?- Three's Company. These shows have humour that is a relief to teenagers. Sure, they take Pp an hour or tic) of study time on a school night, but sometimes it's really worth it, It gives you little break from your home, work,or a long column. • For pre-schoolers, ' T.V. can be More educational and. worthwhile than parents make it out to be. Shows such as Mr. Dressup, Romper Room, the Muppets and Sesame Street teach kids a lot. For example, I doubt very many• parents will deny the fact that Big Bird can get through to their child as well as a nursery school teacher much more interesting,mostly because they speak to kids in a language they understand.

Mr. Dressup also uses puppets to teach, but not as much. Of course, the Muppets, created by Jinn Henson, deal with puppeti, but not so much for educa- tion as for entertainment. All of these shows are great for pre-schoolerS. ^ teen tweens Children love to watch cartoons as well. Lots of kids would love to spend a Satur- day morning watching "Fangface" trap down a cook and Barbapapa turfilato a million characters. TYR to me, is a waste of Saturday morning or in short, three or our-frours-.--There is really - nothing educational about cartoons, but they sure are entertaining.
