TV is a great source of inspiration and storytelling elements to be used in stories we write. They are also a great source for how to write stories. Wait, what?
Television--whether it's on your TV proper or an internet channel like YOuTube, will never equate to writing in the sense that it doesn't show you sentence structure on a page. The word choices to describe a setting, an emotion. Writing digs in deeper than any shows ever can.
So, sure, watch some TV, but reading is much more important for writing as it will help lend a hand in shaping your style of writing. Only watch television if you're writing screenplays.
Otherwise, stick to reading stories.
