\ Fine tuning TV Participating in No TV Week is a good way to remind everyone of the extraor- dinary amount of time manyofusspendinfront Editorials of the tube. But kids might not un- derstandwhy they shouldn't watch anyTV at all for a whole week. Many adults, after all, find common ties in the shows of their youth, remembering favorite characters and espe cially theme songs. Mention Andy Griffith or Gilligan's Island and you can almost certainly begin an instant sing along. With TV, there is always the option of simply turning it off, but realistically, we should also be thinking of ways to make what our kids see something more memorable and less revolting than Beavis and Butthead. Parents today are rightly concerned about the kinds of messages their kids are getting from TV. Where are the simple values-like-the onesAndy,Aunt Bea, Barney and Opie dealt with?
