Yes, tell about the local tv channels. What are they currently showing/are going to show/usually show? Or what are you planning to watch?



Lest see....Usually on any weekday, first programs in the morning are kid's cartoon, many of them are dubbed and mostly very badly. (Its like listening bunch of grown-ups who slid their fingers in their nose). A hell is set loose on kids channel were all the cartoons are dubbed totally badly!

Then, old yankee comedies from the 80's. Who's going to watch those?

On other channel, basic morning show, with guests ("And today, we have a local watchatheycallit-expert") and news.

On the rest of the day, news and cellphone games: The magnifisent quiz! Who won the Eurovision 2006?
A. Lordi
B. Count
C. Dutch

Until 5 pm - more cartoons and.....cheez! E! Entertaiment ****.

And then, its drama time! Soap Opera's and lifestyle programs.

And finally, at 7.30 pm, something worth to watch! The comedy hour! Third rock from the sun, Friends and Simpsons! On other channels, other-very-popular-american-show's.

After 10-11 pm, its time for the finnish cult icon, Conan O' Brian. However, I have to go to sleep.

After Conan, something....



What I really hate about finnish tv is that its so full of reality ****. Im sick and tired of those stupid programs full of backstabbing and voting!

Also, the saddest thing is that they stopped showing wrestling. In 2001, the wrestling programs were shown at 7 pm, and in the following years the airing time gradually shifted to 1 am (!!!!). Then, they stopped showing them because, for some reason, they never had lots of viewers.

Anyway, whats on your tv?

My favourite show at the moment is Supernatural. It's from the U.S., of course, and features two young guys who spend their spare time driving around helping to rid people of troublesome entities from the spirit world. It's spooky and has a downbeat element, but the great thing is the courage, compassion and comradiere between these two brothers. Other than that there are a lot of reality TV shows....mostly not very entertaining....and a lot of CSI type shows which are as uplifting as being run over by a cement truck. In Australia we have mostly US programs and a handful of non-fiction shows that are Australian, e.g. game shows, documentaries, kids shows, and Tonight type show.

Just remembered that Boston Legal with James Spader and William Shatner is pretty cool. The original and quirky characters make it entertaining.

I usually watch sports (Tom Henrik will blame me for it.... ) except for most winter sports.
Or these documentations: How does a cheese facility work ?

I really seldom watch TV at all. But when I do, I mostly watch sports.

Umm... what TV? I didn't watch TV for three or four years now. If I want to watch a movie, I do it on my PC. There are rarely ever any good movies on TV.

In Spanish TV, there is mainly crap. I mean, programs about famous people, what they did, what they said adn what they plan on doing or saying. Apart from that, which occupies lots of time in the main channels, there are also some fiction shows, both Spanish and from the U.S. (yes, we also have Dr. House and CSI here). Other than that, there are a few kid's cartoons early in the morning, some sports from time to time (mainly soccer and racing), and less and less films every year.

I don't watch much TV either, I'm with Horseman here, but strangely I worked for one of the main TV channels here in Spain, so now I know almost all programs and their timetables without haven't seen any of them. :blink:

PD: And yes, we have some wrestling here. Directly from the U.S. and dubbed to be more comical.

There are maybe 1, 2 good TV shows on German TV. That's it. I almost never watch TV except for the news.
