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.
