This is a regular issue in our house; my wife is convinced all TV is evil and that one of the worst things in the world is letting our kids get in the habit of vegging in front of it. I believe we all need a bit of down-time, and as long as it is kept under control, TV is a perfectly acceptable form of down time. (And as long as Kim Possible is tuned in, but that's a different issue...)
Kids are different. One of our kids has no interest in the television, another would watch for half the day if permitted. We on occassion hope that the one with no interest will calm down enough to sit still for a half hour in front of the tube. So I'd watch the kid, see if they're showing signs of dependency or lethargy, and then keep them away from the tube by engaging them.
You're not a bad mother. But try some Little Bear, sometime. It's much better for the same age group.
