While I wish I could say Java, I think that Python is easier to teach for beginning programmers. If the kids have some experience, though, you should teach them Java or C++.
I guess because TV's involve only output, while computers involve input and output. Basically, you need to think when you are using a computer, while when you are watching TV you don't. Now, where do video games fall?
