I like watching TV. My favorite sitcoms make me laugh, and I now find myself thinking, "How would I put a positive spin on the situation if I were that character?" Sure, there are negative influences on TV, but whenever I notice one I just change the channel.
I even enjoy commercials these days. Most companies portray people as extremely happy while using their products. Now I've started focusing on the happiness being portrayed to the point where I don't totally realize what they're advertising.
TV isn't inherently positive or negative. To the conscious viewer, I don't see why it can't be a positive experience.
