Yep.
There's hundreds of good, well constructed documentaries about important events both past, and more recent but people will watch garbage because they can't be arsed.
Which is also why they watch shite "reality" TV and anything involving Ant and Dec. Or Michael Macintyre. Or Paddy McGuiness who surely can't believe his luck.
These programmes are the lowest common denominator and as such make big bucks for advertising and production companies'
Entertainment is subjective and each to their own of course. Personally, I can't stand them.
