That's not analogous at all. A TV show has to pay for multiple professional actors, sets, special effects, a large filming crew, etc. Post-production/editing costs would be a relatively small portion.

Top-notch educational materials require a single instructor and a single camera, and no matter how much production you do it should still come out substantially less expensive than a scripted TV show.

Educational content can benefit by the use of props and effects as much as any TV sitcom; and the props are much more expensive.
