What is the best family show on network currently (other than your own), in your opinion?
TJW: There aren’t too many family shows on TV right now, but the best to me would be NBC’s “Heroes.”
Give me your personal short list of family movies you loved from this year.
TJW: I really enjoyed the movies ‘Twilight’ and ‘Iron Man’.
Which actors have you enjoyed the most this year?
TJW: I enjoyed Robert Downey Jr.; he has made a major comeback in his career. . ‘Iron Man’ was a role I never saw for him, but he played it perfectly.
Your dad is a career police officer. Tell me what police shows he has found to be the most realistic.
TJW: My father recently retired from the NYPD. He likes ‘Law and Order;’ I think the reason why he likes it is because its not too realistic. He will make comments about how the chain of command is off - but that’s the fun in it.
What family friendly games are out there you would recommend?
TJW: I would recommend sports games like Madden or NBA Live.
