Yes and no. The act of simply existing burns calaries. Calories are a measurement of heat and more closely compare to a form of energy. Therefore, even a body at total rest consumes calories, albeit not necessarily a lot. At all times there is a significant amount of activity in a resting person, including brain activity, respiration, and circulation. Depending upon the amount of exertion on a given day, most bodies use 11 to 15 calories per pound of body weight. Not only does the amount of exertion affect this number, but also the amount of muscle to body weight. Most people, however, when asking about calorie expenditure, are talking about the additional use of calories that activity provides. Running provides difference caloric expenditure than swimming or playing soccer, for example. Reading provides little measurable additional caloric consumption, although there will be a tiny bit.

Does watching too much tv affect your weight?
Well, sort of. Watching TV is a very passive occupation(you don't move around a lot), and if you don't move you don't burn many calories. And if you only burn a few calories it gets easier and easier to eat more calories than you loose over a day. And if you're eating more calories than you burn the excess calories will stay with you as weight gain.
