Now for the most part I have to admit television isn’t the greatest, but I do have to give kudos to Nickeloden for a program they ran last Saturday in my area when it told kids to get out in front of the television or computer and go outside and play. This is a welcome change to where they want you in front of the television. They ran a story where a kid became overweight by just sitting watching television and playing video games.
The story went on to show how the kid lost the weight by exercising outside do different things. Not to many times does a television program do this so hats off to Nickeloden. They did something in the right direction and should be commended.

Not only that, but they actually had dead air space for three whole hours, from noon to 3 pm. They didn’t just tell kids to go and keep running programming–they actually went off air.
I was very impressed. Besides, every hour that my son isn’t watching Spongebob, is a very good hour!
