Default Explaining the rules on TV

When do you think poker will reach the point where they don't explain the betting structure and rules of NLHE every episode of every show? I can't remember the last time I turned into Sunday Night Baseball and had ESPN teach me how to play. I realize that poker is still growing and there are a ton of new people that tune in every week... but I sorta feel like poker will have really hit the next level when they are able to stop doing this. Every year you have millions of americans that tune into the super bowl and don't have a clue what the rules of football are... yet they never go over those (albeit most just tune in for the commercials).

Thoughts?
