We didn't have a TV in our home in the 50's when I was a kid. By design. We also listened to a wide range of music from Latin records my mom collected to musical theater albums to jazz to classical. I also got classes in ballet, modern dance, drawing, painting, and acting. We also went to kid concerts and theater.

When we did finally get a TV my younger sister and I could only watch while Mom was at work or when she slept in weekend mornings. I read books. I'd like to believe it all made me a critical thinker rather than a mere consumer of advertising-disguised-as-entertainment.
