I don't know about you, but I don't see watching 5 hours of TV per day as being compatible with the living healthily and being intelligent that the poster you're replying to offered as an alternative, so putting TV on that list seems appropriate. Money isn't the only currency we use to pay for our current lifestyle. Time, attention, energy, passion and such are all necessary to participate in the kinds of life we want to be living. TVs may not cost a lot in money, though as another poster rightly pointed out, TV also includes programming charges too, but that sedentary activity (both physically and mentally) has a lot of non-monetary costs that prevent you from doing and experiencing other things.
