Well, in the defense of TV and the film medium in general, a certain 1993 
dinosaur film which I will not name actually inspired a number of 
impressionable little minds to discover the world of dinosaurs for 
themselves.  So it's not so much the medium itself as the way in which it is 
used, methinks.
