Unless The Scholar can offer any of these things, I seriously doubt the American public is going to give a damn about it.

That may be the case on broadcast channels, but there's plenty of opportunity on say ABC Family channel and other cable networks. Cable only requires about 1 million viewers to make it profitable for adsales, and 3 million makes it a definite winner.
Either way its win-win for everyone...
