Actually most of the United State's entertainment media shows middling fluff at best and not very often. Most of the time it's just crap. And the time it takes for the channels to slide into the muck is getting faster and faster.

100% correct. It's about making quick money and not risking a lot more money to make more expensive quality TV.
Sadly the rise of "reality TV" has ruined many channels. Stick a mic and camera in front of some unknown idiots and roll.....and there is a market for it, low cost filler. Hot dogs vs steak.
A few might be OK, most stink.
