I often wonder the same thing. But then I remember that, in terms of ratings, Gene Simmons Family Jewels and Jon & Kate Plus 8 rank higher in the United States than shows like NOVA or entire channels like National Geographic for that matter. Point being, people are intellectually simplistic and only watch TV for entertainment anymore. And what could be more entertaining than watching "some alcoholic ex-DJ" yell and scream and jump up and down live on the news?
