The Patrolling Police is a sitcom that deals with funny situations that policemen often get into. The sitcom is so poorly made - with half-baked stories, poor actors, and immature direction – that most people poke fun at it. However, the sitcom still enjoys a wide viewership. This paradox has perplexed many who assumed that a sitcom has to be well made for it to be successful.
Which one of the following, best explains the paradox mentioned above in the argument?
A) People who watch TV for more than eight hours a day account for a large portion of viewership enjoyed by The Patrolling Police.
B) There are no other popular shows run during the time when The Patrolling Police is aired every night.
C) People who follow family-oriented TV shows do not prefer to watch The Patrolling Police.
D) TV show viewership surveys are not accurate because people tend to overemphasize their viewing habits.
E) People watch The Patrolling Police to poke fun at it.

Conclusion/Paradox:
The sitcom is badly made and widely mocked, yet it still has high viewership.
Prethinking:
The best explanation should show why people still watch it despite thinking it is bad.
A. Heavy TV watchers contribute a lot of viewers, but this does not explain why they watch this bad show. Weak.
B. No competition during its airtime could help ratings, but it does not fully explain why people specifically watch and mock it. Moderate.
C. Family-show viewers not liking it does not resolve the paradox. Weak.
D. Surveys being inaccurate attacks the data, not the paradox itself. Weak.
E. People watch the show specifically to make fun of it. This directly explains how a bad show can still get many viewers. Strong.

A. Not a good contender, doesn’t explain that people who watch TV >8 hrs a day. Arey they seeing the patrolling people only or some other show, and if they don’t like the show tha why they spend time on it
B. Seems to be okay that there is no content available other than this, so people would be seeing it, but it doesn’t justify the paradox clearly.
C. No help in explaining the paradox
D. Out of context
E. Clearly wins and justify that people to make fun of it they are seeing it, more similar to Instagram reels, cringe content always gets the high viewership.
