Mildred, Montag's wife, watches television all the time on her three giant screens. She watches a show with white clowns who just juggle, they entertain, they don't require any thinking, or interaction like other shows that require the viewer to participate. The participation of Montag's wife in the television shows leads her to think of them as her family. It is another example how technology has invaded our lives.
If you think about it in terms of today's television, its like the ultimate reality show. You just put the set on and it dominates your life. Imagine if you could put on the Television and it started talking to you, asking you questions.
