Kahl, you're an ignorant slut. Intelligent, but dumb as a bag of cats sometimes.

Glowbelly, ever tried substituting music for the TV during that wind down period?

I'm not necessarily agreeing that TV has any effect on people, as the correlation may well still be that smarter people don't like TV as much rather than TV makes you dumb, just as it may be that disdain for TV is just intellectual snobbery... but I watch it about as much as you let your baby partake.

I think it may be possible, though, that audio only might stimulate the imagination more than the fuller experience of television, and the stimulation might be of higher overall input value with good music instead of the incessantly random theme changes experienced within any given 15 minutes of television programming.

It also encourages dancing over sitting and staring, which is always more fun to watch.
