Analytical thinking is boring much of the time. At least to many people.

You summed it up right there. For starters, it is one of the basic building blocks of learning that we have tossed overboard in favor of training students to score well on standardized tests, secondly, it does not make for good television.

But then again, a medium that is based on vivid, moving images is not going to be one to foster in-depth anything. If you want to really find out what is goin on, you just about have to read something, and lots of folks find that totally boring bast 128 characters.
