Will we still be watching TV (as in 2d scripted/acted passive stories, though perhaps written and performed by AIs) in 2060?

Some, but it will be a much lower percentage of our attention diets.
We'll have to contend with a rough transition as reality and fantasy become blurred in interactive fiction, and NPCs become as interesting as the average "basic human".
"Her" is a real possibility.

as long as biological humans exist anywhere near their current genetic makeup they will want 2d images of other biological humans portraying stories, and even if ai emotions become indistinguishable there will always be a market for a worse and more expensive 'organic' product

I am not sure what TV is but if you mean narrative theater, then yes, of course. So far it's a rather long lived genre with no signs of crisis.

Something will be watching, for sure. TV as in “the frictionlessest storytelling medium”, that is.
