    I liked that video. Fun fact all these naked shows are not invented in Germany. Adam sucht Eva is originally from the Netherlands and Naked Attraction is from England. Best German TV show by far is Sendung mit der Maus, Sunday morning ;)

    If you define the private TV stations as "German TV" you are already lost ;-) Try to get your remote to ARTE - ZDF neo - By the way: Check on the 16th of February at 17:00 at SAT 1 - You'll see me performing in the Episode from "Die Gemeinschaftspraxis"

      That’s part of the joke surrounding the video. I guess the humour is being missed by a lot, there are generally no “fake reality” or nudity shows back home, so seeing them on a National tv network made for something great to joke about... key word many are missing.. joke.. I know German TV is respectable, but I’m guessing those who don’t like the video didn’t wait until my explanation at the end.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Native German babyboomer here, the best thing on German TV is the "switch off button", but the one thing that is really awesome about German TV is the location of my country. This means we have a common TV channel with the French called Arte or the Scandinavian crime series on the niche channels like "One", "ZDF neo" and so on and so on..... But as a German, I have to say that the main purpose of German TV is the preparation for the moment you meet a foreigner at Phoenix or Arte you could educate yourself by watching documentations about US Presidents (if you meet a Brit) or about the Nazi period or the British royal family (if you meet an American). All in all, I have to point to my first statement here the "switch off button".

    I guess the reason why many miss the joke is because the title is a fairly accurate reflection of the opinion of possibly a majority of Germans, but they're defensive if "an outsider" also acknowledges it.^^ Apart from documentaries and the odd individual format of quality passing through once in a while, German television is in large parts either catering to the taste of ancient minds or empty minds, hopelessly provincial or hopelessy trashy and moronic.

  • @HaJo_01

    It may well be that the impression arises that German television is generally bad, provided that you spend most of your time in private programs. Not that the public broadcasters now often lack quality. But this is mainly due to the fact that here really is of the opinion that each federal state needs its own channel all day and also serves special-interest programs. The end of the song are Dejavues churning out. Because if you want to fill so many programs with content, you have no choice but to broadcast the same material on all channels. Nevertheless, the quality here is usually much better than that of the supposedly free channels that finance from advertising income and the stupidity of their audience. The contents are accordingly. Sorry - I can't remember American or Canadian TV being any better. Quite the opposite. I can't say anything about Australia.

    I have to say that even my 82 year old German mother-in-law would agree with you, German TV is not great. Even the public broadcasters generally seem to import a lot of shows or just produce rubbish - *cough*Tartort*cough*! There are the odd gems, such as Babylon Berlin, but they are to few and far between. They really cannot compete with Netflix, Amazon or Disney these days. And don't mention the private channels, what they show is not worth mentioning.
