I know what you mean. I watch the Today Show and Letterman just to see what's being spoon fed to the American television audience. I took my television out of my living room and threw the kids outside when they were growing. I wouldn't have cable, either. I figured if we couldn't find something to watch on three channels, we didn't really need to be watching. There are many programs I wish I could access, but it's sure not our life.
Maybe you should have your kids listen to Rush Limbaugh? (lol)
