I've always found that a weird argument as it really depends on what you 
watch. I remember being fascinated watching Life on Earth with David 
Attenborough, that's was pretty educational for a ten year old.

The strange thing is there isn't that same stigma about books even 
though there are lots of books which are complete trash. You get the 
same thing with watching 'too much' TV but being a bookworm is 
considered a positive.
