TVs aren't bad for you. Sitting in front of one all the time is what is bad for you.
Bad for your health in all ways.

I don't think tv's are bad, however some of the filth that is on them is disturbing that an 8 year old in their room could stumble across. Too much tv can be a bad thing, try and go a week without watching and see how much you really rely on it, if it's a lot in might not hurt to cut back a little bit. But television in general I don't believe is a bad thing.

Everything in moderation, as my grandmother used to say. TV can't hurt you (at least not unless you drop it on your foot) and if anything it can stimulate the imagination and make people talk and think about things. Of course it was never designed to be a babysitter, or a best friend and can't replace going out, seeing other people, chatting with friends and actually speaking to your children but if you start to consider it that way then it can affect your social skills.

Sitting in front of any screen like a computer screen or TV screen is not good for your health. Also much of what is on TV and the internet today is not good for your mind.

Yes they are. I think they contribute to ADD. Think about it. Constantly changing the channel with the push of a button and seeing images change right before your eyes. It's no wonder it's hard for people to concentrate.

Yes they emit radioactive waste and cause balding. They also choke young children if you don't monitor them.

I only think they're bad for you if you watch it too closely, it can give you a bad headache.
or if it's all you do, it's bad for the waistline.

Only if you try to lift a big, heavy one by yourself. Then you can really hurt your back.
