To write
this article, I was inspired by a video of a U.S. "Youtuber"
passionate by France. You will have his views on American television and my
perspective on French television.
In America,
there are thousands of channels. This is too much, you never know what watching.
The U.S. are the professional of zapping. Unfortunately, we can say that
"too many choices kills the choice." Watch TV in the United States is
more seeking what you will watch rather than really watch something. In
addition, the ads are terrible and relentless: 10 minutes of program and 20
minutes of advertising. Once the program starts to be interesting, it is cut by
an advertisement.
In France,
we have rules for advertising: the duration is limited and everyone isn't
allowed to do add. Doctors, lawyers, politicians can't make advertising. In his
video, the "Youtuber" mocks advertisements lawyers in America:
"You thing your wife is to big ? You don't want to talk with her anymore ?
For $ 500 I'll take care of your divorce in the shortest time". This kind
of advertising is unthinkable in France.
In France
we have fewer channels. These channels broadcast many live show and a lot of
games. Information takes an important place in the program, they even have
channel dedicated to the non-stop information. In terms of French series, they
are simply lousy.
Personally,
I never watched a lot of TV in France so in Austria, I don't miss TV at all.
Nevertheless, there is a show that I like a lot and I am watching every day.
This is "Le Petit Journal" of Yann Barthes. This is a very humorous show which
"dissect" the news and mocks the Politian and the journalist. For
example, during the last election of Barack Obama, the team of "Le Petit
Journal" had waved a white giant banner, on which was written "Cassoulet".
This image was broadcast on ABC and American journalists have attempted to
analyze the meaning while it was just a absurd joke: the Cassoulet is a dish from the south of
France.
