But I agree, if the brain isn't stimulated, you atrophy. Entertainment of any sort (except TV for some reason) stimulates brain waves and creates those synapses that make us smarter. So, without that, we would not progress, and without progress, what would be our reason for being? 
Just some thoughts.

According to Harlan Ellison, TV doesn't so much "suck" as it is "sucked." That is, it's used as a pacifier to dull and numb the senses, much as an alcoholic sucks at a bottle.
I would posit that TV's main bane is more in how it's used rather than a fundamental problem with the media itself.
