How television benefits your children
The text of the ad basically admits that it's the parents that television benefits, not the children. Because TV is the greatest nanny ever created. Park the kids in front of the boob tube and you don't have to worry about keeping them out of trouble.

Renske Quax, 2-year-old billiards prodigy
It's impressive that this kid could hold a cue stick well enough to hit the ball at the age of two, let alone sinking shots. That's more coordinated than the 2-year-olds I've known.I couldn't find any media references to him after 1953. So I'm assuming that he didn't grow up to be a billiards pro.
