TV -- chewing gum for the eyes.

Summary

This quote suggests that television is a mindless and easy form of entertainment that offers little intellectual stimulation. Comparing TV to chewing gum implies that it is a temporary and pleasurable distraction, but lacks substance and nutritional value. Like gum, TV can be addictive and habit-forming, but ultimately, it is seen as a trivial and unsatisfying activity that does not contribute much to mental growth or critical thinking.
