  Mike Teavee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mike Teavee is a character in the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its subsequent films.
Mike's parents felt that television was a fine choice for raising a child, as they believed they could always keep track of him and lay his food right by the TV.

Continuity: In the scene where Mike Teavee has smashed up the red pumpkin-looking thing, he smashes it cleanly into two or three quite big pieces.

 Mr. and Mrs. Teavee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She is aware of Mike's TV-junkie habits but appears to be completely unconcerned about it; whether it's because she is resigned to her son's ways or because of her lax parenting remains to be seen, most people would hypothesize towards the latter.
She conceals Mike claiming that no one will ever find out about what happened to him (suggest social-climber traits) and is last seen being dragged to the taffy-pulling room by two Oompa-Loompas.
When Mike is sent by television, he is concerned and is shown leaving the factory with his elongated son with an expression of resignation on his face.

 Movie Review of Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
For example, in Dahl's book the vessel that escorts the party along the chocolate river is described as a sugar boat, made "...by hollowing out an enormous boiled sweet..."; Mike Teavee is admonished not to lick it.
Burton is true to Dahl's description of the boat (mainly in its size and its pink color), but Burton's Wonka never explains the nature of the boat to the party, or, therefore, to the audience.
Mike Teavee's character is particularly confused in the film.

 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - ComingSoon.net Movie Reviews
There's the ultra-competitive Violet Beauregard, the gluttonous Augustus Gloop, greed personified in the form of Veruca Salt, and Mike Teevee, a nightmare of a boy whose driven his father prematurely bald, and of course, each of them will meet an appropriately bad end while taking the tour.
The tribute to MGM musicals is a lot of fun, as is the Byrds influenced homage to Veruca Salt, but the Mike Teevee television montage wasn't nearly as good.
After the rotten kids are systematically dispersed, Burton wraps the story up with the type of feel-good ending that should easily win over even the most cynical and jaded of viewer.

 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Movie Review - Stylus Magazine
Dahl, a curmudgeon of the most pristine vintage, often pitted his child-protagonists (Matilda, James and the Giant Peach) against the insidious powers of the grown-up world, but in Charlie, the children themselves have been granted supremacy over their parents.
For me, Dahl’s critique of modern children always stung the worst during the passages featuring Mike Teavee, the crass, gun-toting boy obsessed with television.
Similarly, in Burton’s version, Mike Teavee (Jordan Fry) becomes a violent video game addict who would rather smash candy than eat it.

Using Dahl's own words from the book, he tailored the pieces stylistically to each child -- Violet, Augustus, Veruca and Mike -- whose bad behavior sets off alarming consequences and illustrates a moral lesson.
For Mike Teavee, I needed something frenetic and hyperactive like he is -- the short attention span, video game, rock kid.
