Just limit the time your children can watch television. And even there, try to restrict the television to more intellectually stimulating programming.

That's a huge mistake. You'll burn your kids out if you act like school is in session 24 hours a day. Kids like watching characters act silly on TV and in movies. It's good for them to take breaks from science and math and literature and learn about their world and about other people and how those people interact with each other in a movie or show (even if the characters are cartoons).
