Earl is of the tail end of the greatest generation baby pool. So he probably would not admit tuning to it once because of how it may have shown the regulars, maybe some he is friends with, in a bad light by their own words.

Instead, ask a question framed in terms of what good is such activity to the health of the community.
But, then ch200 is not for someone you would want dating your daughter is it? Points back to why ch1 got pulled by Hitech. And why small towns had the concept of the other side of the tracks and such necessary evils. You turned a blind eye as long as those evils stayed on the other side of the tracks.
Or Hitech pulls channel 1 forever.
