Careful is all I will say. I've heard the TV argument many times from Christians and it's usually extremely legalistic.
TV in and of itself is not wrong at all. If you say we have to throw TV out altogether, that means you have to throw out entertaining books, plays, types of people you might hang out with, lots of other things.
It isn't the TV itself, it's the content that can be a problem.
Even then, we must remember not to be legalistic,
While I agree that we should not throw out a TV out of some sense of man made law, if a Christian does stumble as a result of TV, they should obviously not use it. Also, when one uses the word "legalistic" this implies that there is something wrong with laws or rules. I hope I am wrong, and that this is not the case of what you meant, but for your information, Jesus said if you love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15).
You said:
Christ says EVERYTHING we do should be edifying to Him.
I do not see this as being a direct quote from Jesus. Rather, would this be a combining of 1 Corinthians 14:37 with 1 Corinthians 10:31? Or are you quoting 1 Corinthians 14:26?
You said:
However, edifying shouldn't be legalistic in any way shape or form.
Edifying is a way of loving your brother.
Loving your brother is a commandment.
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." (John 13:34).
We edify one another with encouraging each other with God's Word.
"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost," (Jude 1:20).
This is why Jesus asked Peter several times if he loved Him. When Peter answered "yes" each time Jesus asked, Jesus finally said to Peter, "Feed my sheep." (John 21:17).
For iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17).
You said:
It's about your heart, there are TV shows that have some cuss words but are far more edifying than say a TV show that's perfectly clean but burns brain cells. LOL
No. That's not true. It is wrong to listen to cuss words as a form of entertainment.
Paul says,
"Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." (1 Corinthians 15:33).
You said:
And, edification isn't just entertainment that is made by Christians. Worldly entertainment can be just as edifying (of course I do not mean areas of entertainment that praise sinful lifestyles), because everything brings Glory to God. He created this entire world, and the world has to except His good and natural laws in some way shape or form because it's all that exists.
Again, not true.
15 "Love not the world, neither the things
that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that
is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." (1 John 2:15-17).
If we sin, God does not get the glory. We give glory to God by letting the Lord do the good work through us.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16).
Note: I am aware that God the Father sent the Son as a sacrifice for us, and it appeared that men had wrongfully executed Jesus, but this was something that was a part of His plan all along. God was making a way to save us and it was not just something sinful in and of itself alone. Yes, God used the evil that Joseph's brothers did to Joseph for a greater plan for good, but God did not hope that his brother were to do evil so that God could get the glory from their evil. God can turn a bad situation into a good one does not mean God gets the glory when a person sins.

The best TV arguments I've found are those from Christians who have a TV addiction problem. Which is exactly where cutting off TV completely is a good thing. For example, I watch a lot of the Marvel MCU films (some I don't like Doctor Strange but most I watch) and I believe it's okay to do so because I'm not addicted to these films. I'm not going to say everything in all these movies is okay or biblical, of course not. But there is great edification when you have pure good fighting pure evil, and when these movies show human weakness.
I used to collect Marvel comics, and I used to love the Marvel films. I wanted to even work for Marvel when I was a kid. So I used to really like these films. But in 2016, after the Luke Cage TV Series, I put away secular movie watching. I could not take all the sinful things being pushed upon me anymore. Things were getting darker, and darker. When I made that decision, it was like my eyes were open, and I could see just how sinful these movies really were. They are not edifying in any way. They are not Christian films, but they are worldly sinful films.
You said:
Of course, the hardest part with entertainment is the line itself. Where do you draw the line. Movies that completely praise sinful lifestyles and desires should not be watched. However, if a movie has a great story, with edifying parts everywhere, but has say a few cuss words and one romantic scene in it. Is it a sin to watch if you block yourself from those specific scenes?
They are not edifying. That is an illusion. There are more sinful things in them than you realize, friend. Pray about it, and you will see.
May God bless you.
