The sad part is you making the idiotic assumption that having an option for kids to watch means that watching TV is the only activity they have available to them.

You require time to relax and unwind, right? So do kids. Feel free to learn some nuance before talking with grownups, again.

So are they getting a lot out of watching something over and over again?

And yes, no TV is better than any TV. That is a valid adult view, and not idiotic at all. But it really was the over and over again part that I was commenting on.

Maybe it is better than letting them wander all over tiktok and youtube which is much worse.

Have some kids, and then see how that goes for you.

Been there, done that. They did some TV here and there, but not much. They didn't watch much at all when they were little, certainly not over and over.
