In re LA Law, I have always cautioned people to remember that broadcast is an *advertising* medium, not an entertainment medium.  There is little concern about program content, realism, education, or any other kind of editing *unless* it relates directly with improving the numbers of people watching the program.  TV people are selling audience to advertisers.  Viewers are not the clients.  Viewers are the product.
