yup - I agree that the TV should go. Too much time is wasted watching when kids can be doing. I think the commercials are awful, not only do they entice our kids with every plastic toy around, they also introduce junk foods. Imagination teaches a child a great deal. I think it is a mistake to put TVs in bedrooms, especially a child's room. If they are going to watch a program, it should be out in the open so that parents can monitor and step in and make comments regarding your own family's beliefs about whatever the show is about. But I think it is better for young kids not to watch - they certainly won't miss anything by skipping the commercialism and they will have gained much more by actual "play".
