Anyhoosen, one of the common themes of "end time" shows was that in the future people would be watched through their TV as they watched it, which leads me to wonder if that is even possible.
Was this just a conspiracy theory created to keep people away from TV, or is there an element of truth to it?

Future TV's may have this possibility since, like was already mentioned, they are essentially PC's with their own storage, net connection, and very probably web cams.
As far as government/Hollywood/total strangers being able to watch you through your old tube based analog TV's, that is a total lie and fabrication. It is NOT possible. Aliens a million years more advanced then us could not make it work. And yes, I heard scare-monger evangelists harp on that very thing during the 80's.
