The most important lessons I've learned were from childhood shows on PBS: Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, Reading Rainbow, etc...

They taught me how to spell, inspired me to read and explore not only my neighborhood but the world outside of it!

That tv sometimes can be better than real life

I wish that what the detectives and crime investigators do in 1 hour, something could be done in real life!! I know it's only tv.

Haha! The most important thing I learned from TV isn't really from TV rather from my dad who used to always say, "TV makes you stupid!". ;)

Thanks for the contest.

The most important thing I learned from tv is geography and world affairs from watching the news

The most important thing I learned from TV is that, if it's on ESPN, men will watch it! Why on earth would somebody actually want to watch hermit crab racinig?!

I have some good things from watching TV such as how to prepare yummy foods, what's going on in the world around me and about other countries and other cultures.

But I've also learned that there are some amazingly trashy people that will do anything to be on TV and don't care how they act or are perceived by others.

What I have learned is that all you see is Reality TV Shows... they should think of something else. I'm glad I have Netflix.

lets see great cooking tips from rachael rae, health tips from dr.oz, relationship tips from Dr. Phil,

That the news can be very depressing and there are some very bad people out there.

I learned that other than the news there is little of value on TV unless you get additional channels thru cable, disk, etc.

The most important thing I learned from tv is that all of life's problems can be solved in 30 minutes. If for some reason it can't be solved in that time, than a one hour "special episode" should do the trick :-)

Nothing is real - not even reality shows.

I think we all learned that "TV is make-believe" at an early age. But the recent explosion of reality shows, and those who believe in them, seem to have caused many to forget that important message.

The most important thing I learned from TV is that to restrict my viewing time to quality information because there is so much garbage on the airwaves.

Well, I didn't know how many plants and insects you can eat to sustain yourself if I am ever stranded or lost in the wild.

I learned a lot about family values from watching sitcoms on TV.

You can turn your backyard of nothing into a stylish one.Will look awesome.

Politicians lie. garrettsambo@aol.com

I loved to watch the School House Rock pieces in between my Saturday morning cartoons. I learned all about the Constitution and how laws are passed.

I like to watch health shows like The Doctors and Dr Oz and I do feel I learn alot from those shows. Once show about menopause made me realize that I was going through premenopause as I recognize the symptoms.

I have to see that the moral decay of our society has an increasingly large place on TV and I will have to sift through shows with a fine tooth comb when I have children.

I have learned why foods react the way they do with each other.

there is a whole big world out there, the US is not the only country.

how to eat a healthy diet

That's a good one. I bet I've learned lots from TV. Hmm, this is a downer but I learned that some alcoholics will resort to drinking mouthwash, which is toxic (so sad, it was on Dr. G).

I have learned most about history from TV, I never did well in school in the subject, but now I find it fascinating !!

That its not real!

I have been watching a lot of CNBC. To protect your assets you need to diversify.

Most of the programming today is b.s. and in my opinion-not worth watching. Take for example, the sell-out for the season ending of L*O*S*T.

i have learned to shut if off more often, reality tv stinks.

Watching the news, I learn that caution is the best policy. There are a lot of really bad people out there!

I learned how to maintain a nice home, by watching food shows and decorating shows!

everything ALWAYS turns out right if you do the right thing

not to believe everything I am told

I swear this probably seems ridiculous, but I learned about the different kinds of people on tv since where I'm from really doesn't have many...

I have learned from tv that a lot of people out there just do not have any morals or integrity now a days.
