i always had tv back home with my family. now i'll soon have internet, if everything goes well, and so i believe i will watch some tv with my decoder on my pc. or maybe not.
in france the US rule mainly with series that display unlikely stories and more guns and violence than ever. there are so many of them, i mean now i couldn't tell you how much we've got on the main channels. french series have known a good period but now we talk about big business, and we know the US got the market. and today it's true that they invest big money in these series, short or longer, and hire movie actors, thing that almost never happened before.
otherwise, lots of "games" and stupid tv shows at prime-time. no more real litterature review ( as Bernard Pivot provided us until an already forgotten date ), no mor cultural or alternative programs as we had in the eighties and early nineties - i remember "liquid TV" ), mostly for music. there remains some cool animated series "for children" but most of all are chosen by program directors for their commercial potential and not for their artistic newness or beauty, of course. no challenge, no daring people in the french TV world.
