Existence to me is useless without pleasure. Some activities that "better" the individual are truly worthwhile because they allow for greater pleasure in the future, whether this is selfish pleasure or the altruistic capability to help others (if that exists). But regardless of all these "bettering" activities, there has to be some time for inherently enjoyable activities. This can come in the form of reading a book, going for a run, watching TV or doing anything else that anyone wants to do.
I watch television, but not excessively. It is not a "good" use of time in most cases. There are educational programs that exist but they are not the kind I watch. I watch TV for entertainment, and for no other reason. I could learn things or study school work or do homework in the time I watch TV but I don't and I don't think I should. I learn enough to do the things I want to do and then some, and my time is still not entirely filled.
With that extra time I do things I enjoy and when that thing is watching television I will watch television, the action needs no further justification.
