I'm not a programmer, but I do know that there's a reason people watch TV and do other "useless" things, and that is because it's not work. People need balance. Personally I prefer going for a walk or writing, but hey, each their thing.

Yeah. Considering TV and such in isolation is wrong. You can't just say "you wasted those 15 hours on TV" because, if we assume that that TV watching was wasteful in and of itself, you can't know what repercussions it would have if he hadn't done it. Maybe he would have burned out because he didn't have any off-time.
