Many people did watch it during the day. They arranged their schedules to do so. It was that big a deal. And your constant complaining about people overreacting says less about them and more about your own overeaction.

No one said it was a national tragedy but I've noticed strawmen like that are a favorite response (pretending to have more gravitas than is warranted is often used by internet posters in place of actual facts) for some.

What you don't get, is that the tv hearings helped turn Watergate into a big deal (in 1973 not 1972 as you claimed). So yeah being covered on two of the big cable stations, which are shown in thousands of public places such as in airports, bars, gyms. etc. during the day is important, as history shows and you could learn if you would just take the time.
