Because these characters are usually young and cities are exciting. Wanting to get away from people tends to happen later in life. That said, I know plenty of people in their 40s/50s who love city living.
It's not even that complicated....... the vast majority of people that make up the consumer market live in urban environments.
Yeah people want excitement from movies and TV and country life is usually quiet and might be considered boring for movies or TV programs or just wouldn't be considered interesting by most younger people.
