I agree that many programs on television are not fit to watch. But even church activity, taken to an extreme, cam be unhealthy. If you are a basketball fan, you know that there are two ways a game can end. The first possibility is a close game. In this situation, you cannot afford to get distracted.
Every shot is vital, every play is a big play, and each team has a chance to win.
The game goes to the last second. So you watch the clock, and you play the game according to how much is remaining. The second possibility is the runaway game. This is when a team is so far ahead, that it is impossible for the other team to catch up. In this situation, all that remains is for time to run out.
