The many-worlds interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that asserts that the universal wavefunction is objectively real, and that there is no wave function collapse.
This implies that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are physically realized in some "world" or universe.

If everything that possible could happen happens an infinite number of times, that means that everytime you watch a tv show you are watching a real time documentary of something actually happening somewhere.

The many worlds interpretation of QM doesn't mean that EVERYTHING happens, only things that exist in superstition, so things that have a quantum state.
