Hardly. I worked 105 hours a week for a few months once and didn't have time for anything.
When I worked 60 hours a week I had plenty of time for other things like flying airplanes, building stereo speakers, cycling, etc - working 5 days a week and sleeping 8 hours a night gives you an average of 4 hours for other things during the work week.
I didn't have time for TV though. After a while I realized it had been six months since I'd watched anything and cancelled my satellite subscription.
This disregards the wisdom of working more - studies show that after a while you end up with less productivity than you have just working 40 hours a week.
