ok, here’s the deal: I love tv shows. good tv shows. and this blog is about trying to arrange my love for the screen with that thing people sometimes call my life a.k.a. the real world. With my studies, my writing, my work, the girlfriend and the rest of my social life. fortunately the gf understands and most of the friends do too.
BUT I come from a place in the world that was obviously able to produce the likes of mozart and beethoven, but hopelessly fails at putting up a halfway decent tv-programme. in fact we have a public broadcasting corporation that broadcasts two (!) channels which come with no bearable schedule whatsoever. (but cable tv is not much better either) they show cheap pseudo-traditional stuff for the old people (the elderly? I’m so un-pc) and “educate” the young ones with dumb-ass shows like the nanny and everybody loves raymond. I mean yes, home improvement was nice – in its time – but they also tend to carry on broadcasting whole series over and over and over again YEARS after they have been cancelled in the us/uk. for instance I like dawson’s creek (a guilty pleasure thing, bite me), but not the frickin 11th time around!
and if they finally DO pick up something good, it’s 15 years later. I’m almost embarassed to say this, but right now they’re bragging about putting on seinfeld - free tv premiere in austria. PUH-LEEEEZE! this is exactly why watching tv in austria makes me cry. and this is also the reason, why I decided to be a bad downloader and make my own schedule. which always makes me be:
A DAY BEHIND
…but a much happier person
