I wouldn't mind doing it. I run my own DNS so it wouldn't affect me, but I figure if they're already trying 8.8.8.8 they may as well try 8.8.4.4 and perhaps more, so it'd require a bunch of firewall rules.

Now, all of that is moot point cause I hate the whole "smart TV" thing, so they'd never be connected to the internet.

Right. It's probably easier to give it a whitelist instead of a blocklist.
