Why do all anti-terrorism shows have to be serious?

[ck4829]

Why do we have shows like 24 and such, terrorism, torture, espionage, treason, etc.?

BTW, I am not trying to make light of 9/11. However, some forms of media do make light of terrorism or the reaction to it. After all, one is more likely to die of a heart attack than terrorism.

Here are some suggestions:

My neighbors, the terrorists - A man tries on a weekly basis to expose the Muslim family next door as being a secret cell of terrorists when they are clearly not.

Cheney's New Neighbor - Cheney is locking up the door to his 'undisclosed location', when he finds that the secret compound next to his has been bought. And who moves in? Why it's Osama!

Keystone Kommander-in-Chief - A bumbling President invades the wrong pretext on some sort of pretext that might be connected to terrorism.
