Obviously they are craving for some source of entertainment and TV often is the most suitable option, right? You have access to a wide range of different programmers, channels and so forth. Another reason might be procrastination. Our brain tend to opt for easier task instead of challenging ones like studying or doing exercise.

When people have nothing to do they get bored and seeing/watching the TV makes their boredom vanish and it entertains them.

It does not require any effort at all. It does the thinking for you, and helps you enjoy your snacks. Also it is a conversation starter because many people watch TV as well.

for pleasure and for not finding another way to use their free time, they prefer to see something animated of the series, but they do not know the damage that it does to his health to spend that time watching television, I do not say that bad of sea, but it is not well spend so much time looking at something that does not benefit anything
