Yet its the BBCs biggest Light Entertainment hit since The Voice was launched 6 years ago. And its very much a hark back to the old days of Morecombe and Wise variety shows (bit of comedy, audience interaction, silly games etc....) It's certainly not unique to the 21st Century.
I also think you're confusing opinion with fact. You simply cannot state it isn't 'adequate entertainment' if other people (including me) are entertained by it. If you don't like it, thats perfectly fine, but don't go judging other people for liking a bit of light hearted frothy TV.
