It is because it is all cheap to make and doesn't involve any effort. I don't know what channel my Sky box was on earlier but when I turned it on some sort of Gordon Ramsey trainee chef cooking programme was on and in the 5 seconds it was on before I switched the channel over he was saying "disaster averted, Fred (can't remember name) nearly let that salmon go out uncooked". And all I could think of was what a farce the whole thing was and how it had been setup. There is no way Gordon Ramsey would even bother teaching a potential top notch chef if he couldn't even cook fish properly and notice the difference between cooked and uncooked.
Going back to money and budgets though, on the odd occasion one of the networks do try to make a new and decent "series" it only lasts for a few episodes so it isn't really a tv series. Downton Abbey comes to mind and DCI Banks (I think there were 3 episodes). I don't watch any terrestrial tv at all so I haven't seen any of them but I can remember seeing the listings for it on tv.
