Product Description
When Mama Bear decides her family spends too much time in front of the TV, she bans it for a week. Then the Bear family finds other ways to have fun and keep busy, so they watch less when TV is allowed again--and they don't even miss it.

 Good message, but book needs updating June 28, 2008
I've reviewed several of the Berenstain Bears books available at Amazon. This one is my least favorite because it is stuck in the mid-1980s. Mother Bear supposes the increased TV viewing is a result of the family switching from a black-and-white TV to a color set or, perhaps, because Papa Bear installed a new antenna atop the tree house.
Seriously, in a world of satellite TV, digital video recorders and on-demand movies, do you think upgrading to color television is the issue?
The rest of the book, which focuses on outdoor activities and the value of a family dinner time, is still valuable, but could use an update as well.
Skip this book and pick up "The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Commercials" instead.
Too Much TV May 25, 2008
The Berenstain Bear's have television issues, like lots of kids. They love too watch it, and their poppa,daddy,enjoys it too! The family members sometimes, watch it too much, so Momma bear devises a plan......But, will it work?
This may get kids thinking of wats to avoid too much TV.
My kids loved these books September 12, 2007

My kids have enjoyed every one of the Berenstain books and I like them too because they all teach a lesson in a non-preachy way. Unfortunately. the other lesson they all teach is that Papa is at best just another child, and at worst a buffoon. Sort of like the foolish fathers on the sitcoms.

When the bears have a problem with too much tv, mamma bear goes into action. The bears learn that too much tv is not a good thing.

When my children were small they loved the Berenstain books. It still is a great pleasure to see these books. One of their finest features is the appealing way the Bears are drawn. They are so bright and colorful.
The TV book is a good one, and it has an excellent lesson for the world's children. Too much sitting and watching T.V. dulls the mind and the heart. Children need more time to be outside playing, or with their parents, or reading books, or doing many other things.
This book may seem a bit dated as today the couch- potato distractions are more diverse( and perhaps Interactive) than T.V.
In any case this little book is a fine and amusing read for children and for parents alike.
