Last week I credited television for the fact some quality shows like Cosby<\/em> and Home Improvement<\/em> can be seen during the day in recent years.<\/p>\n

Some television programmers, like TNT, also should be slammed, however, for allowing shows like Charmed<\/em> and Angel<\/em> to air at 8 a.m.<\/p>\n

Both deal with sorcery, wizardry and things like witches and magic and just aren’t appropriate shows for children.<\/p>\n

Look at this partial description for an episode of Charmed<\/em>: “Prue’s decision to intervene during a woman’s suicide attempt backfires and places her on the receiving end of a Darklighter’s wrath as an evil being tortures her into trying to take her own life.”<\/p>\n

Yeah, that sounds like a good, healthy program to wake up to.<\/p>\n

I know, I completely missed or quite frankly passed on the whole Harry Potter phenomenon but I am glad I did.<\/p>\n

I don’t think it’s healthy to give children the idea they can conjure up powers to fight off evil spirits.<\/p>\n

Only Christ has that ability, not a JK Rowling creation. Fighting evil by evil means can be a very dangerous path to follow.<\/p>\n
