Positive TV

In today's society when children misbehave the parents blame TV. TV is not always the problem though, sometimes it's just the parenting. Even if there are TV shows that are bad influences on children, parents can prevent their children from watching those bad shows. Parents can put parental locks on the TV so that those shows will not even appear when they are on. With the parental lock, children can only watch positive TV. Positive TV is a good influence on children, it was on me when I was younger. Sabrina The Teenage Witch was my favorite show when I was younger, and it had a positive influence on me. 
Sabrina The Teenage which was about a girl in high school, who just found out that she was a witch. Sabrina lived with her two aunts, that were also witches. Salem was Sabrina's talking cat, she didn't know he could talk, until she found out she was a witch. Sabrina's aunts were the ones that told her she was a witch. She wasn't an evil witch, and she didn't have warts like you see in the movies. She was a normal high school girl, with super powers. In the show Sabrina had to earn her witches license, so that she could use her powers.
The way Sabrina earned her license, was by passing all these different tests. The tests were not only about how to use her powers, but they were also about doing the right thing morally. In the tests she would have to overcome obstacles using her powers, and part of the obstacles were always learning a different lesson about right and wrong. For example, one of her tests was to turn into all the elements ( fire, wind, earth, water). During that test she learned that she needed to control her emotions, and not overact in certain situations. Sabrina passed that test with flying colors. 
The show Sabrina The Teenage Witch was a good influence on me, when I was younger. The show taught you a lot of lessons on morals. I watched that show every Friday night, and every Friday night I would learn a new lesson. Thanks to that show, I did not have to learn those moral lessons the hard way. There is a lot of great shows out there just like Sabrina The Teenage Witch, that have a good influence on kids. 
Parents today can blame TV all they want for their children's bad behavior, but in the end they can control what TV shows their kids watch. Parental locks are a wonderful thing, especially when it comes to TV. If parents are going to blame TV for their kid's bad behavior, the may as well blame TV for their good behavior too. Some TV shows are a good influence on kids,like Sabrina The Teenage Witch. Those are the TV shows kids should be watching.
