This week’s Monday Madness:
1. What was your favorite TV show as a child?
I used to really love a slightly surrealistic cartoon called Balthazaar (quite Yellow Submarine-ish)
2. What show did you hate?
I didn’t much like the Norwegian cult childrens show Pompel & Pilt – I thought it was scary.
3. What show did your family gather around the TV to watch?
I can’t really remember us gathering round the TV much. We probably did to some extent, though. I know we all loved the “classic cartoons” randomly interspersed in the general programming – La Lina, Pink Panther, Tom & Jerry etc.
4. What show is currently your favorite?
Beat for Beat (except the season’s ended) and Nytt p? nytt (Norwegian version of Have I Got News for You). And Parkinson. Always Parkinson.
5. What show do you hate now?
Most of the reality shows, but the new Norwegian show “Bill. mrk. Bryllup” is probably the worst one – even managing to top Temptation Island in speculative voyeurism and general debasement of human values.
I don’t watch any reality tv except ‘Survivor.’ Sometimes I can’t even believe I watch that. The problem with reality tv is that even when you KNOW it’s dumb, you just have to know how it ends. I’m sure the producers are aware of this….Have a great week! =)
Nice to know that it’s not only here in Belgium where Temptation Island is taking the human average level down. Not to mention the Big Brother mania which is already horrible to think about.
