They just cared about milking it as long as they possibly could for ratings.

That’s why I think Tim Cherry is so scummy. He’s the CEO/manager/agent of Don Cherry Inc., and Don is the talent. His dad has been his meal ticket for his entire adult life. It’s basically the relationship of a child actor exploited by his parents, but in reverse.
It’s bad enough for a network to exploit a senile 80-something who had descended into embarrassing cringe. But for his son to do it is much worse.
