Young people don't want to sit at home and watch television; they'd sooner be out doing their own thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Young people do not watch television; they are on the Internet.
You get to that age where you're watching a lot of television, and who doesn't want to be on television?
Kids aren't growing up with a sense of television as the aspirational place for their ideas.
I think it is important for young people to see other young people on television doing something positive with their life, making positive changes and growing. I don't think there is enough of that on TV. I mean, we've got 'Jersey Shore,' and I don't know what that teaches young kids.
Television, they say, will permit a person to be entertained at home, without the effort of going to a picture house, without the trouble of booking seats, without the presence of other people.
I think television often has dismissed younger people. They figure, well, they're not really watching news, that's not our audience.
When I grew up, we didn't have a TV, and I think more families today have ambitions of getting out of their environment, such as sending their children to university.
Young people are so often dissed by the media.
I don't think it's realistic to say kids shouldn't watch any TV. I just wish the shows would be better. And that kids would watch less. Get out there and do things, kids! Don't become couch potatoes!
There is a whole generation of people who are going to see movies or watch TV who don't want to work.
