Honestly, basically all Japanese TV has to offer is weird challenge shows, variety shows and shows where a bunch of famous people sit around and shoot the shit about whatever (this one gets reallllly old...) and shows about food, or traveling shows about local stuff (usually food). To me it is all just extremely repetitive, and just sickening to watch anymore. Once in while there might be something interesting, but there is simply no comparison between American TV and Japanese TV. Your best bet is to come over here, get cable, and watch dubbed over American shows if you want to watch something that won't make you want to blow your brains out (other than anime).
Why so many Americans appear to think that everything in the world should be made to please them remains a big mystery to me. Japanese TV people would be stupid if they tried to please Americans when Japan consists 99% of Japanese and Americans are not even the largest group among the remaning 1%.

Besides, OP never asked if we liked Japanese TV in the first place. Let him watch Japanese TV and form his own opinion instead of forcing your not only highly biased but also hateful opinion on him.


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
