Two of the most important ones that I can think of real quickly off the top of my head is (1) It would be difficult to televise this program without disclosing locations of caves. (2) How much drama do they need to make it interesting. I think they would feel the need to throw people in the mix that would cause drama which could potentially cause damage to caves because maybe these people are not true cavers. Remember, reality TV is not about education, it's entertainment. Do we as cavers want to subject the environments we work so hard to conserve to these people that really could care less about what caving is truly about?

The biggest issue I see is the tremendous cost of filming in tight areas with no light. I can't imagine the extra cost to setup those shots.
