Get rid of the TV for an entire month

What would you do without a TV for an entire month? Many families probably cannot imagine that scenario, but I would venture to guess that more constructive reading, physical activity, family communication and overall happiness would be a result.

Don't believe me? There are many studies that confirm just that. In fact, many psychologists have challenged American families to stash the TV in the garage for a month and just watch their family lives improve.

After seeing the programming junk on network (and some cable stations) television, I am amazed that kids are even allowed to watch such nonsense these days in many cases (yes, CW network, I'm pointing at you). Who knows -- maybe a TV-less month will turn into a TV-less environment for good.
