Japanese TVs are a bit different. but yet i think its the best and the funniest. The dramas are ok...good and bad but i like it how it is seasonal unlike U.S. where its like a life time show...
It's no secret that Japan's television shows are....unique. I got my first taste of the cathode ray madness in 2001, when I was staying at Cam's place in Toyama and I got to see such cultural touchstones as "Miniskirt Police" and Boingo." It's just gotten weirder since, and TV in Japan is there to chronicle it.
By the way, not every show on Japanese TV is wacky game show malarkey. They do have dramas and other such standard fare, including the otaku-themed "Densha Otoko," which is quite decent.

Hi,
I'm the creator of TV in Japan and just wanted to let you know I appreciate you coming to visit.
BTW, I loved Desha Otoko and am probably going to write it up some time soon, especially if I can find a linkable video with subtitles. It's an amazing series that I think a lot of people (especially those on the net) might love.
Thanks again!
Yours,
Gavin

Hey, thanks for stopping by, Gavin! Yup, DO is a pretty decent show. Overly sentimental, but so's a lot of Japanese drama. It's really well crafted....and I like the way they shot it. Pretty slick for something on tape. Plus you can't beat an animated tribute to Gainax's Daicon IV opener. :)
