There is no influence, IMO, and even if there is, there's no way to prove it, and here's why:

The relationship between something like "committing violent acts" and "watching violence on TV" is purely correlational rather than causal. You can't say that violence on TV causes people to commit violent acts in real life, because correlation is a two-way street. It could be just as likely that people who have a violent temperament are drawn towards watching violent television.

The faggots who say that "TV made my kids do it, so I'm gonna sue you" can't face that fact that their kid may have been a rotten apple to begin with.
