Ah, my words come from your mouth. I have taught you well, my young apprentice.
UNLIMITED POWER!

Anyhoo. I have yet to see this "Laguna Beach" and I don't even know what it is about.
But the sentiments of ****ty shows staying on the air while crap ones remain, is indeed, a recurring problem creating by the Netexecs, and their droid leader C-EO. For example, Crusade, was a wonderful show about a desperate search for a cure to a plague that is wiping out the entire population of Earth. The crew are aboard the single most advanced spaceship ever built by humans, and they are the last hope of Earth, travelling the stars. Earth has been quarantined. The Earth Alliance is in ruins, as most of the governing body, except for a few senators on Mars and other worlds, was on Earth when the plague hit. The aliens who dropped the plague, the Drakh, are still lurking around raiding ships and creating havoc. The main characters are all fabulous, especially the captain Matthew Gideon, who is a gambler and a cheat. 7 years ago, the spaceship he was serving on was blown up by a mysterious alien ship and he was left to drift in space, in his space suit, alone, until the technomage Galen (who is a main character) saved him. When he returned to Earth, he was not allowed to talk about it. Gideon, unbenownst to anyone in the crew is doing three things, besides just looking for a cure to the plague. First of all, he's looking for the ship that blew up his old ship 7 years ago. Secondly, he's got an apocalypse box that tells the future which he uses to find planets that may have the cure. What's worse is that box carries a curse... and it lies. Third, the plague will wipe out humanity in 5 years. Gideon made a deal with all the alien worlds. They'll allow him unlimited access across their borders - for four years. He has to spend the fifth year in orbit of Earth shooting down anyone who tries to break the quarantine.
And, from the information released from the series creator and writer, J Michael Straczynski, the cure to the plague would've been found in season 2 and was not actually the main plot of the show and something else was going on from the very beginning.
AND it's a spin-off of Babylon 5 which had just finished so it was pretty much guaranteed profit.
This show got cancelled before the first episode aired.
But we got seven seasons of Star Trek Voyager.
