Entertainment can be equated to information in a practical sense though.

  No, it really can not. Except in the Niquist/Shannon sense, or if you work for E channel...

    Entertainment is a method by which people acquire cultural facts, knowledge, even wisdom and philosophy. It easily extends to picking up domain specific knowledge as well, episodes often center around a scientific/technical subject which allows audiences to pickup a cursory level of knowledge in a subject otherwise foreign to them. So directly, yes, entertainment=information even in a very literal sense.
