Most hobbies have a cost and time length of enjoyment and thus you can determine how much you are spending per hour of enjoyment. Movies is like $25 an hour, though skipping concessions and going to a cheaper theater can bring it down to under $10 an hour. A short video game (assuming full price release day) is like $7 an hour. (Cost is higher if you play games less because the upfront cost of the system is split over fewer games). A long video game is goes from $2 an hour to $.50 an hour, and can go much cheaper for games you enjoy for extremely long times. Books for me are around $2 to $.50 an hour ($20 book that last 10 hours to a $10 book that lasts as long). Libraries make all of this much much cheaper if you have one. I actually read a lot of web novels/fan fiction which are generally free and thus my only cost is for the internet access that I'm paying for anyways. Sports can be a lot harder to measure because there is a large variance in the costs depending on numerous factors, but I would assume they aren't that much cheaper (though generally much healthier for you). I find art, especially for anything that is above crayola level brand, is quite a bit more expensive. So for kids it is cheap, but for adults who spend any serious amount of time in it, the costs go up pretty fast. So in comparison, $1 an hour for TV isn't bad, but it is filled with ads. So many ads I personally refrain from TV.
