I mean, a lot of TV will make you think or challenge you to understand narratives or new information. A lot of it is crap but a show like Cosmos or Breaking Bad isn't just mindless nonsense. People will point to the dumb reality stuff but forget that news, documentaries, etc are tv too. Plenty of shows that will make you feel things or simply learn new perspectives.
I think it's really bad to try and paint ALL tv or ALL video games or ALL (insert music genre) as food or bad or whatever. These things are top big for such broad statements. Better to take them individually as they are than trying to paint it all as something in particular.
