There are a lot of cooking shows where the women cook something then take in turns to see who can say OISHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII the loudest & longest.
There are the usual News shows but the layout is unusual, 20 minutes on some fluffy story like dogs being sold on the internet. politics, sport, weather & then about 2 minutes on international news like North Korea or Iraq.
Don't watch baseball on TV in Japan. If the match runs long, even if it's tied in the bottom of the ninth just about to be decided, they cut away to the news & don't tell you the result.
But Japanese TV really does redeem itself with the show Mini Skirt police. Use your imaginations & I'm sure you'll be pretty close to it.
A Japanese cable channel Mondo 21 is the most bizaare channel in the world I'm sure. Randomly it's either hot girls getting naked
or old men playing Majan or pachinko.
