TELEVISION - March 2, 1992

Father Knows Best: Producer Gary David Goldberg, responsible for “Brooklyn Bridge” and “Family Ties,” takes the hard line when it comes to viewing TV by his child. “My wife and I have pulled the plug on our 8-year-old daughter. No TV without a grown-up present. Not allowed. Period,” he says in this week’s TV Guide. “That way, even if there’s something that violates your world view, it’s an opportunity for discussion.” Why so watchful? Goldberg points to children’s vulnerability: “They don’t process information the same way adults do--and certainly not the same way as your average Hollywood writer or producer.”
