Obviously if you are Thai then its great. Alas to the outsider looking in, it is a load of shite. I'm trying to think of the last Thai TV program to win an Emmy Award?
The programming is as follows;
Soap Opera's about love and life, were there are no poor people, no one kisses or as sex, all alcohol is pixelated out, at least 2 ladyboys for every straight bloke. Excellent bitch fights. Lots of guns which are also pixelated and lastly of all "Brainy Kids"
An on screen kiss is treated by the Tab
loids as seriously as a lesbian sex romp on Emmerdale. All the pixelating so you cant see ale or guns is a joke, all that happens is, veiwers now know there is ale or guns on the screen. Oh and smoking is also blotted out.The sport is OK and the news programs, despite being bias towards anything Thai are OK.
After the soaps come the comedy/ variety and talent shows. No words can descrbe the awfulness of these programs. The comedy is very slapstick, circa Benny Hill without the tits.
The absolute worse thing on TV are the imported soaps from Korea. The soaps themselves are pityful, storylines that make Barbara Cartland seem realistic. The same two Thai Actors do all the voices for all the soaps. I look upon these as light comedy relief.
We have Cable in the Condo at the moment so I have a choice of three film channels, the Hallmark Channel, CNN, BBC World and two sport channels. Later when we move I will have to do without all these.
Anyway, these programs keep Nuch happy, so they cant be that bad.
