Have a 6 and a 3.5 year old.
My wife will let them watch phineas and ferb and in the past its been things like wonder pets, dora...a few select shows on Nick jr. At most an hour at a shot (also known as "mommy's breaking point has been reached and she needs an hour").
Other than that its a Pixar movie every once and awhile.
The 6 year old is just as happy sitting down with his books (He has a Nook and shelves filled with Geronimo Stilton, the Magic Treehouse and the Captain Underpants series.) The 3 year is all about playing with toys and starting sword fights with his older brother.
TV isn't a big part of their lives overall. We're not militant about it.
There have been occasions where the 6 year old will come across things in print that are "above his pay grade" but thats no big deal. I was checking out his nook the other day and he created a whole bookshelf dedicated to "Books to read when I get older" (his words...his actions. We had nothing to do with it)
