2-5 Year olds watch 32 hours of TV

So this article is basically crying out for a post. The horrifying part is pretty self-explanatory--kids 2-5 are watching way more tv then they should. Compared to their older siblings (who watch less tv), it's clearly being used as a clear babysitter. The really hard thing for me to think about is if you were to take a sample of my room-- some students only watch, say, 5 hours of tv (say, Dora every afternoon, movie on tv on weekend). What about the kids who I know watch a LOT of tv? How much are they watching to move that average to 32 hours?
