No one form of entertainment is inherently superior to another. *It's the quality that matters, and if someone goes looking, there is more high quality TV around today than ever before, both fiction and documentary, thanks to cable and satellite.
30 hours a month, which is what the OP says he watches, is an hour a day... hardly "too much" by even the most snobbish standards.

It's up to each individual how to spend time, of course. No matter the content of TV, though, your brain basically flatlines when watching it. (You can find studies online.) So I figure, even if I were to read crappy books, I'd still be better off than watching TV. I choose not to read crappy books, so reading is an even better choice for me.
