The length of a TV program or a workday shouldn't be the deciding factor here -- just because peoples' attention spans aren't long enough to extend the day an hour doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. After all, the world doesn't revolve around the television!
Accepting a counteroffer is an insult to your intelligence and a blow to your personal pride; you were bought.
If the recruiter offered more money than the current job, and you took the newer higher-paying job, weren't you just bought anyway?
If a counteroffer was made, I'd then go back to the recruiter to see if they could do any better. It's always a good thing to have employers bidding against each other for you!
