We use out television for entertainment, that’s what it was designed for. We suspend belief for an hour or so while we enjoy being entertained. Some believe, however, that TV rots the brain cells with all the violence etc. Some shows, however, still have morals and teach us lessons for life. These are the best of those.

The first one is Psych; this is a networked crime drama which I think is great fun. A guy who’s memory is photographic and wits are razor sharp passes himself off as a psychic to solve mysteries and crimes.

Everyone loves to play detective, and I am one while this show is on. It really gets you thinking and makes great TV.

Jo Frost is the Super Nanny, who goes to different homes in the UK and the US to help parents cope with their kids who are, quite frankly, monsters. It is on weekly on ABC and re run daily on the Style network.

Her main aim is to teach the parents techniques to dealing with their unruly kids by giving them responsibility and teaching them values. All parents can benefit from the sound advice that Jo dishes out.

There are many factual programs that aim to raise peoples self esteem and improve themselves. What not to wear takes people who, quite frankly, don’t know what fashion sense means, and show them how to dress to feel better about them selves.

I’ve always prided myself on not judging people by their appearance, but not everyone is like that. Learning to dress properly can improve your life no end.

If I can be entertained and educated at the same time, I’m very happy. I get both of these from all the CSI shows, NCIS and Law and Order. They show behind the scenes of our legal system as well as dealing with moral and ethical dilemmas. No subject is taboo, however disturbing.
