ELI5: If "The Hobbit" was critiqued for having more frames per second than usual and looking like a television show, why TV shows don't lower they FPS to look more "professional" like movies?

Many say (not me, I liked it) that "The Hobbit" looked like a cheap soap opera because their highers FPS (THAT IS NOT THE POINT, THE POINT IS IN THE NEXT SENTENCE).

So why television shows do not lower their frames per second in order to look like movies, that have lower FPS, since that high frame rate is somewhat strange for our eyes?

Some do. 30 Rock does this. You can see the difference easily if you compare the two live episodes they did - filmed in higher "TV" fps - with a normal episode. They even make a joke about the difference at the end of one of the live episodes ("Something feels different", or something like that).

Breaking Bad, HBO shows like Game of Thrones, etc also shoot at 24 fps.
