This book will answer your question.

TLDR:

  • kids (and adults) get addicted, moody, hyperactive, go through withdrawal without TV

  • attention span and ability to delay gratification are diminished

  • watching TV the brain goes into a "passive" state that doesn't occur while reading, this state is not actually relaxing (actually low-level stress)...

    That's off the top of my head, there's definitely more.
