I don't remember anybody saying TV is essential.
However some people (including perhaps a higher proportion of elderly) are dependent on TV to help pass the time in their lives. It almost becomes a friend to those who may be alone.
That's certainly the case with my dad who is not particularly ambulatory any more.
Without TV, his life wouldn't end, but he would have a lot less to do and look forward to.
That's sad. But it's true.
