Arrgghhh - Emma - do you think I really watch “reality TV” shows? (Or Unreality TV?) This type of show is just what I am talking about, but I am afraid most game shows are just as stupid. There are some great dramas (and even light entertainment) produced - often by BBC - with fantastic acting, sets etc. Also many fine documentaries made, often by USA public broadcasting. What about the great series on jazz, shown about a year ago? What gripes me is that most TV is produced to cater for the dumbest audience. (And I hate to be insulting but most US TV except PB seems to be like this, or maybe it’s just what is shown world-wide).
TV could be so wonderful, but it isn’t. I have more cable channels than I could need, and 99% of what is shown is CRAP!!!

I’ll give you three of the culture channels I receive plus 1 drama, 2 nature ones and 5 news channels? But not Arte (a French/Germany shared culture channel), I like that one too much ![]()
Every Germany federal state has it’s own public broadcasting system so there are a lot of public channels to choose from, plus the 10 or so normal public channels - of those the only one I like is Arte and the documentaries on ZDF aren’t bad sometimes. Obviously you have crap TV in Australia though
