To Whom It May Concern:

I do believe that much of what we see on TV in evening hours is
inappropriate for young ones.  While I, at age 47, may think it
is humorous, I can choose what and when I watch.  Many kids and
their parents, however, do not screen what is on and the kids
often will watch anything.

I favor some more responsible programming but the "V-chip" seems
inherently problemmatic.  First, what about the millions of
existing sets that are not equipped?  I also think that this is
not a problem for which a technological solution will work.  It
is a social problem which begs for a social solution.

I do wish there were more programs like Beakman's World and Bill
Nye - The
Science Guy which make learning about science fun and captivate
audiences of all ages.  I watch these shows with my 14 and 18
year olds.  

Thanks, Ed Mehollin
