Well I can answer some of your questions.
[QUOTE]And, some shows seem like such overt advertisements for products, why not just drop the pretense and call it an infomercial?QUOTE]
Those products either pay for a portion of the shows budget, or provide free product for the production. So whatever product has been given to the produciton for free is suddenly the best thing out there. American TV is sponsor driven, so there's no way around that. Additionally, most people don't make the connection that they are in reality watching 30min commercials.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the general public.
