TV itself and most things on the Internet are "Time Wasters" (though at least the Internet excercises your mind) and are not good for society as a whole. Next time you are at a large store (say a SuperWalmart for example), look around you and count just how many people in the store are not just overwieght but obese. I did this one day with my brother when we walked through to get some paintball stuff, and the numbers were staggering (over 100).
Our society has been plagued by TV and other "Entertainment" that feed the lazy society we have become. Go to some other countries in the world and you will be amazed when you come back to the states and see all the large people everywhere (I am not saying that all countries are better than us of course). My wife and I went to Korea for 2 weeks and when we got back to the airport in the US that is all I noticed.
People should try to entertain themselves like people did years ago in America. Sports and excercise are novel ideas that some people should try, or for the less fit - walking or hiking in a park.
There are so many wonderful things that you can do that do not change your mind into a pile of soup.
(Stepping down from soap box)
That is just my 2 cents
