We were not allowed to watch TV until I was about, oh, 14? 13 maybe? I was in Middle School. Maybe that is why even today I don't own one and do not have a cable/TV package. It just does not interest me. No Cell phones so when we went out for fun in the summer we were free and unsupervised. But may god be with you if you were not in the house when the streetlights came on, else you got chores. LOTS of chores. Hell, for that matter we went outside and played and rode bike all over. When I was 15-16 we rode our bikes to the big parks, a 30 mile round trip. Good luck with that today, moms are raising their kids in a culture of fear and panic; they'd never let that go down now.
