Television & America's Children

Since the demise of Captain Kangaroo in the early '80s, there has been no regular weekday programming for children on the three major commercial networks and very little on chronically underfunded Public TV. Yet, as this study shows, America could easily have the finest children's TV in the world, for less than one cent per day for each of the nation's 42 million children. Why we don't have it and what we can do to implement it are the key concerns of this incisive and valuable book.
