: Re: Using Pronoun 'It' repetitvely for emphasis? I'd like to know if using "It" repetitively (for emphasis) in this context is okay grammatically. TV has become the modern day baby sitter.

Grammatically, this is correct. Stylistically, I think it would have better effect if you replaced "it" with "TV".

TV has become the modern day babysitter. TV is raising our children. TV is dictating the cultural narrative and shaping future society.

That would make the "it" more clear and would hammer the point into your readers' heads:

What's the modern day babysitter? TV!
What's raising our children? TV!

That is what you want readers to remember, not "what is raising our children? It! But...what's 'it' again?"
