Ocean11 0 Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 That's all rather 80s I think you'll find. I don't think they do that anymore. More's the pity... Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 What I don't really get - and I may be misunderstanding it - is why "talento" go on quiz show and they get the prizes of millions of yen. As if they need it. Do they give it to charity of what? Link to post Share on other sites

Jinja 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Scouser, I'm DISGUSTED with that tactic on Japanese TV, it's an evil, incestual relationship. When you have big, successful (ie. rich) TV stars/pop singers using their fame to get onto these shows, that they get paid to appear on, so they can then win themselves Pajeros and 10 million yen and stuff like that...... that's just f*c3d up. Heheh, I sound like a commie revolutionary there, but yeah, "Give the power to the people". Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Gets on my nerves that too. Giving these talento cash and holiday prizes to Hawaii is just obscene. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Speaking of talent, how much talent do these people actually have? Like Mino Monta, the guy who's the host of "Millionaire" - he's also on like 15 other shows throughout the week. What happened to just letting people do one show a week? Its bad enough that I gotta see him on Karakuri terebi but also on every other damn program and channel, too. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 They're just hard working folk like the rest of us. And if they win a trip to Hawaii, it's not as if the trip was going to be distributed to the poor people anyway. Hell, I bet it's not even a very good trip to Hawaii that they win anyway (if'n it does exist at all...) I like Mino Monta anyway. He's like a roguish uncle to me. All those faces he pulls on Millionaire - what a scream. Like all roguish uncles, I never let him into my house. That 'fainaru ansa-?' thing he does has me sitting on the edge of my seat (scrabbling around behind me to find the zapper fast enough to turn the box off before we get to see any more).

Wizz 11 Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 They seem incapable of producing quiz shows without the tarento - has anyone EVER seen a quiz show without any talent at all? Link to post Share on other sites
