Is television really the moral and spiritual wasteland it is often accused of being? Does network television offer more than just salacious sleaze and lowest-common-denominator humor? Are there intelligent, well-written shows with a fully functioning moral compass? Are there characters whose example, good, bad, or much more complex, inspire hope and impart transformative wisdom? Panelists in this session will speak up for television, the shows, writers, characters who have helped them see the world in a new, better, or more compassionate way. Come share your own favorites!
