There are plenty of studies showing that people who watch a lot of TV are "dumber" than people who watch less TV, but this is not necessarily a cause-and-effect thing: maybe only people who are already pretty dumb can stand to watch a lot of TV.

There's really no reason to suspect that TV somehow "makes you dumb". However, time spent watching TV is, by default, time NOT spent studying or reading, so while watching TV may not literally be harmful in and of itself, it's probably harmful to do so to the point where it begins to interfere with more intellectual activities.
