Well said! I stopped watching TV when I left for university, and was shocked to find shows like Fear Factor had became popular, especially because of the way it glorified the humiliation and degradation of human beings for the sake of entertainment. When I turned on the TV after 4 years and felt like I fell asleep and woke up in a foreign country! Now fear factor seems like harmless fun by comparison to the garbage on TV. Wow, I sound just like my grandma in the late 1980s.
The mind is full of images, i.e., the (Imagination), there is a Bible verse, that states, "Casting down imaginations and every high things that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing them into the captivity and obedience of Christ", effectively removing from the mind, one, just should not keep re-introducing that thought or image.
That was an interesting dream that you had Abigail. It sounds like your maternal instincts, (the stove/cooking/family) was not wanting (defending/fending off) the Pimps and prostitutes, (Social Woes/Corruption), from influencing your closes circle of existence, (Family/Household) and each successive concentric circle of influence, (Teaching Class/School/Students). I thoughly enjoy watching you Cello/Music Lessons and these advice videos are very pleasant.

No, I agree. You don't even need to be that old to see just how trifling and base modern television has become.
