7-11 2 Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 How much Japanese TV do you lot watch? I seem to watch more than I might want to admit to. News, local news, even some variety noise shows. Now that my Japanese is getting a bit better, I seem to be watching and understanding more. Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 I try to avoid it as much as possible 7-11, although I must admit to sometimes watching some of the crazy programs (London Hearts et al), pretty mad stuff. I'm off out now, bye... Link to post Share on other sites
cheeseman 1 Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 I like all the oishii (food) programes. Especially when they cover our nutritious friend, cheese. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 :rolleys: Have you ever seen a serious documentary on Japanese TV? (leaving out maybe NHK for the moment). Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Very little. The tv's usually set to the satellite channels. Serious documentary? They don't exist. Link to post Share on other sites
curious-georgia 0 Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Is there a program in Japan called "Endurance". We used to see clips of something like that on TV over here and it was crazy to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Like 711, I seem to be watching more as my Japanese gets better. Most of it is loud drivel, but it's educating! Link to post Share on other sites
oblivion 5 Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I watch less as my Japanese gets better, coz I can actually understand the drivel better. Link to post Share on other sites
rajeem 0 Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Oh its terrible. So loud and annoying! Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 The "Endurance" show was called "Za Gaman" but it hasn't been on for at least 10 years, from what I hear. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 But, if you write a book about Japan, it's obligatory to mention 'Za Gaman', as well as the 47 ronin story, Chushingura, as these are key to understanding Japanese culture... Link to post Share on other sites
