Let's see, I would say that I probably watch cartoons with my son up to 6 hours a day. Nickelodeon is always turned on. So if I'm not watching soaps or some other tv show, then we are watching cartoons. But it isn't like we sit and vegetate in front of the tv all day. The cartoons will be on, but usually he is off playing with toys or playing video games. And I am usually on the computer or doing things around the house. I think Spongebob is the only cartoon that completely grasps his attention.
