People at large do not like to have to do a lot of heavy thinking when they are relaxing at home. Today, there exists hundreds of channels and thousands of programs. We can choose the type of programs we like best to watch and we can support those programs. All of us are people of taste and culture. We know what we like and what we don t like.
Television programs are many different things to many different people.
If a program can entertain millions of people daily or weekly the rise in revenue for those shows can be easily seen. What I mean by this is, if you ask people if they watch these kinds of programs they will look you straight in the eye and tell you, no. You remain Anonymous as you are not required to add your email.
