sionnach commented on the word intellectually barren wasteland
Spanish television. I'd forgotten how impressively devoid of intellectual content it can be. Hour after hour of bleakness. It begins to take on the character of a Beckett piece.
Would it give you an idea of the magnitude of the desolation if I told you that six of the fourteen or so working channels are dedicated to phone-in psychics?

Lemme guess, the other 8 channels are dedicated to dancing girls flashing their assets, reality shows, politicians/ex-footballers (equally elitist and vacuous) being encouraged by the host to shout at each other, South American telenovelas and quiz programs featuring midgets dressed as farm animals.

Prolagus commented on the word intellectually barren wasteland
Bilby is describing Italian TV in the Berlusconi era, except for telenovelas which are now produced locally – too many starlets deserved a job, after their special favors to politicians.

Sprung! ;-) Italian tv runs the full gamut from carpet sales to carpetbaggers.
