EUROPEAN TV IS WEIRD Berlin: Germans watch Hogan's Heroes dubbed into German. I thought for a moment that my head would explode from the cacophony of thought this produced, but I was able to pull back from the abyss. I merely twittered, but Bradley had the smarts to flickr the moment. Paris: From what I've heard in the media, I expected Al Jazeera would all flag burning all the time. Alas, it's just as boring C-SPAN, but prettier what with all the Arabic script. London: Television in the United Kingdom is all about taking old, dumpy houses and making them fabulous, or rather "fabulous." Has anyone determined when they'll run out of old, dumpy houses to convert? My guess is some time in 2012. I'm permanently scarred from the show where a seemingly nice couple turn a beautiful inn into a "fantasy inn." By fantasy, they mean something that I can only describe as The Magic Kingdom out on the town with her gal pals, dons a super thick pair of beer goggles and has a one night stand with Thomas Kinkade only to give birth nine months later to some demon child (aka the fantasy inn). When it's not about dumpy houses, it's nature programs that feature spit screen views of beauty on the left and baby animals eating their siblings on the other. Really. God bless Direct TV and our dual tuner TiVo. 07/14/2007
