Cost.

To upgrade a show to HD costs a fortune, not just in cameras and editing facilities, but entire sets have to be remade. Most TV show sets just aren't designed for HD, there's too many blemishes that don't show up in SD but are overly distracting in HD.

They've been upgrading the sets and buying in HD equipment to replace end of lifespan equipment, but it's a long process.
