Thank you in advance.
Vocabulary
What does "strapped" mean here?
I have gone through many dictionaries to know that "get strapped" can mean "be fastened", "poor", or "armed', but it seems none of these meanings fit the context. So what does this word mean here?
Here goes the context
Jill: Well... did you ever watch "Model Warrior Julianne"?
Dana: Not all of it, but my little sister's a big fan of the reruns.
Jill: Back when I was in elementary school I was a HUGE fan of the show.
Jill: I had everything. From the dolls to the costumes to the lunch boxes.
Jill: It didn't help that it was one of those shows that got strapped literally everywhere.
Dana: I saw a couple of episodes once. They were really nice!
Jill: It was beyond nice! The show's about a model who can transform into #an armor-clad magic knight.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you. I see. Can I ask one more question?
What does "it didn't help" mean here? Does it mean "it didn't make the situation better" or "it didn't make the show favored by more people"?
Broadly speaking, what does "it helps/it doesn't help that" mean? And how to use it correctly?
Thanks beforehand.

Thank you for your reply. So can I use "it helps that" to refer to "it is a favorable condition that "or "it provide with sb an advantage that" generally?
And can I use "it doesn't help that" to refer to an unfavorable condition or to mean "what makes the situation worse is" generally?
Thank you.
