How bad can "Seseme Street" really be?

Some advises of the American Academy of Pediatrics have a lot to say about the release of the newest edition to the Seseme Collection: "Sesame Beginnings." It is made especially for children younger than 2. The American Academy of Pediatrics says it is not a good idea for young children to become dependent on TV at such young ages. The Sesame Workship says they have now found an effective way to encourage communication between parents and young children.Rosemarie Truglio, the Sesemae Workshop's vice president of education and research says "We have to stop blaming parents, and create responsible content for them ... the key is moderation. We're not advocating just plopping kids in front of a TV screen."

I really don't see what the big deal is! I watched tons of TV when I was younger, and I turned out fine!!
