i think that if they wish to, they should be able to.
Another view:
It seems the first answer was either written by a child, a person who has no children, or has no interest in the well being of their children. NO - children should NOT be allowed to watch anything they want.
While it's perfectly fine for children to watch some TV programs, there are some which children should not be allowed to watch. And, as parents, it's their responsibility to monitor what their children do watch, and not use the TV as a 'babysitter.
Children are exposed to far too much violence and sex on TV, which can result in them becoming desensitized to those things, causing them to feel the need for further violence in what they watch for stimulation or entertainment. That's only one of the ways in which violence leads to violence.
If kids watch extreme violence on TV not just while they are still in their formative years, but also when they are young teens, it can result in them experimenting with things they do watch. There have been many instances where a child saw a violent act on TV, then 'acted it out', resulting in their death, or the death of another child.
Parents need to be responsible in what they allow their children watch on TV, and only let them watch age appropriate programs. TV's have parental controls so parents can easily control what their children watch, even if they are not present while the child is watching TV.
yes.

studies are inconclusive whether or not babies should watch TV. the recommendation is to limit TV for children under 2 years old. see the links below for more information.
That depends on what the show is; If the show has lots of swear words, then TV isn't the best choice. Shows that are designed for kids, such as Dragon Tails or Curious George aren't bad, they teach useful lessons.
Too much TV however is also not good. It is important for your child to play and get plenty of exercise each day, especially if doing activities like being on the computer or watching TV.
Watching television can be bad for anyone, especially young infants. Small periods of educational shows are acceptable, however, you do not want them to spend too much time watching TV.
good
but why
bad
Certain TV stations can be bad for kids because children are very impressionable and can learn "bad things" from TV. They also do not necessarily have the ability to tell good from bad yet, or real from fake.
Tv is not bad for any children age it a way that children get to see the world in a different way an let there imagenation run free - little angle for now find me on youtube
It depends on how much tv and what shows.

It is good for kids or parents who watch t.v. with their kids.
There are a couple of good options for kids TV/DVD combos. FAVI L 1818A-V-P 19' LCD HDTV TV/DVD Combo and Disney's 13' TV/DVD combo are both good options for kids.
Heck ya
YYAAASSS
Awesome!
my answer is no because if they do they will put a bad invluence to the kids watching
Tom and Jerry is a bad influence but it's hilarious and your kids aren't dumb enough to imitate everything they see on TV
PBS kids is a good channel for young kids, but as with all television you should monitor what your child is watching and how much. It is up to each individual parent to decide the best shows and amount of television for your child
