Are you joking, or do you have perhaps too high an opinion of German TV?

On the one hand: yes, I am.
On the other-- we have a network that bills itself as educational and spends over a month marketing a full week of programming dedicated to propagandizing its audience to be maximally afraid of sharks.
It broadcast a wildly popular movie where a tornado full of sharks attacks a city.
German TV could be an order of magnitude worse than my parody and it still wouldn't even register on the American scale of stupidity.

It reminds me of the (possibly apocryphal) reasoning behind the cancellation of "Police Squad" back in the day: that people would have to pay attention to get the jokes.

Very true, this is the first thing I thought of when I head of the popular show "Naked and Afraid".
So like, sticking only to the first and second derivative in soap opera plots about retired civil engineers?
No late-period Beethoven sonatas as background music?
That must be difficult for you as a German.
