SHRINK: `MILLIONAIRE' SHOW GOOD FOR FAMILIES

DALLAS (Wireless Flash) -- Are shows like "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire" turning kids into money-grubbing misers? Not at all, says a University of Texas shrink who claims the show is actually good for kids. Psychiatrist Madhukar Trivedi says the new TV quiz show craze is getting families to spend more time together, which benefits both kids and parents. He says unlike other TV shows, quiz shows get families to interact, which is healthier than passively sitting in front of the boob tube. As an added bonus, he says the quiz show questions can teach kids something educational.
