>>watching TV helps children become well-adjusted adults

I have no doubt about this. The question, however, is whether being "well-adjusted" is good or bad.

>>helps them relax and have fun, take part in group conversations and it gives them the chance to identify with people and find role models

...things that one cannot do with one's family? Is it better to look to Britney Spears or Michael Jordan as "role models" rather than one's own parents (flawed though they may be)?
