I would say a couple hours tv after you've done your homework is ok.

It's fair if you tend to watch too much t.v. at once or if could interfere with your homework or other more important activities.
By your question I'm assuming that's not the case, so unless your dad has some other good reason for doing this, it's not fair.
Then again, most things in life aren't fair, especially when you're a teen and other people make decisions for you.
I know it may not seem like it now, but it would be best for you to not protest this decision by your dad, partially because it will just make him take away t.v. for you even on the weekends, and also because it will show him that you're mature and able to make sacrifices.

He probably wants you to concentrate on your schooling. I don't watch tv or movies most monday -thursdays because I have too much work. If you live with your Father, then he's the one that makes the rules. If you can do really well in school for a while you might be able to renegotiate with your father later, but only after you have proved that you can finish your work first. I say study hard, wait a term or semester and then talk to your father again then.

It's his choice to set the rules. Though I do think it's your right to question those rules. There's nothing wrong with watching television (it does not "rot your brain"), but he's probably concerned about you keeping up with your studies.
So make sure you understand why he's setting the rule, and then maybe you can negotiate an alternative. But honestly, whether anyone on Yahoo Answers thinks it's fair or not isn't going to have any impact on whether he changes his mind, right?

Yeah, father knows best. Do you sit in front of the TV for hours on end? Trying exercising your mind and body.

stop whining. get your homework done. and after the first grading period is over, you get your first report card, (and if your grades are good!) renegotiate. prove to him that you can be responsible, get to bed on time, and maybe you can renegotiate. depending on your age and attitude, as evidenced by this question, tv for you is a privilege, not a right.

At least he didn't say that you could only watch tv Sunday mornings... there has to be a reason for this.
