I know there are exceptions to the rule. But my assertion that a lot of parents homeschool their kids to keep them away from evolution and other scentific ideas still stands.You say that like it's a bad thing.

I think science should be popularized as much as possible, and TV is a great tool for science education, when done right, of course.
