Everyone here is assuming the conclusion... I would hypothesize that TV/movies are about equivalent to casual reading, though obviously it depends on the book and/or show.

For example, what do you think is better: watching the original Star Wars movie, or reading one of those starwars-based books? I think its pretty clear watching the movie is better.

Have you ever read the novel that "Dude, Where's my Car" is based on?

Well of course you haven't.

There's too much false analogy in this thread; there's some really amazing movies and television shows - of course, they were made for that medium. While they are probably reproducible as books, you would totally miss out on what made them brilliant as visual media, just as people generally complain that "the movie wasn't as good as the book."
