I think that in books about movies they have to pay for the rights to display images of the movies. Is it the same for TV programs? All kinds of TV programs?

It simply depends on whether it's fair use or not.
According to https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/more-info.html "Fair use is a legal doctrine that promotes freedom of expression by permitting the unlicensed use of copyright-protected works in certain circumstances. Section 107 of the Copyright Act provides the statutory framework for determining whether something is a fair use and identifies certain types of uses—such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research—as examples of activities that may qualify as fair use.
