Oh, I meant the whole series. It's not on right now, hasn't been for, I think, a couple of years. I think the only thing left in the SCANDALOUS REALITY category is "Faithful Or Unfaithful", in which people watch on stage as their S.O.s are seduced by actors and filmed with "hidden cameras", while the host continuously says "STOP EVERYTHING!" to go on about HOW MARIA HAS JUST TOLD MÁRIO THAT HER HUSBAND ISN'T THAT GREAT IN BED, BUT BY GOD MÁRIO MUST HAVE THE GOODS, AS HE TAKES HER TOP OFF and OH GOD the Husband is making threats already, and Maria is a fucking PUTA!, and Mário is a BASTARD! about to be BEAT UP!, and in case you don't get the point, the bottom of the screen will tell you, always, how TODAY'S FAITHFUL OR UNFAITHFUL IS VERY CONTROVERSIAL!.
On the plus said, the one time I actually stopped to watch the show, the host went on a rant about how HE WOULD NOT TAKE ACCUSATIONS OF HOMOSEXUALITY LIGHTLY! BECAUSE THAT IS DISCRIMINATION! WE HAVE TO STOP THE DISCRIMINATION! IT IS NOT THE KIND OF ACCUSATION YOU SHOULD MAKE! AND NOT EVERYONE IN TV IS GAY!, which was heartwarming.
But...
No true, properly inspiring pop tv. Withdrawal of which is probably to blame for the entirely off-topic rant above. It might come back this year, though, I hear, and who knows, I might drug friends into accompanying me in my hopes that it returns in better form.
Anyway: Portugal. |
