The Only Way to Get Important Things Done
Agreed. I often tell my parents to turn it off, to spend their free time actively. Watching TV is passive entertainment at its worst.
I wish they listened.

You should suggest and encourage them towards new activities, rather than trying to get them to stop one activity. It's psychologically much more effective.

I honestly do it with board games, card games, etc. It psychologically takes them a huge effort to even speak about playing.
