The professor at a course on the brain described the activity of the brain while watching television as lower than the brain during sleep. 
[The professor was not Dr. Phil, of Oprah show fame.

Surely that depends on what you're watching. I'm sure that's true if you're watching Jerry Springer.

The lecturer did not specify what TV shows were involved. IMHO, US television was a "vast wasteland" (per the FCC Commissioner) years ago, and has gone downhill. OTOH, TV's do make good monitors to watch videos like "O, Brother, Where Art Thou?"
