The Tube...

Hmm.. the tube, the popular name for the television (do TVs still use those tubes nowadays?). Anyway, there's been a lot of discussion on television shows in Indonesia, basically they stink. A lot of them tells the story of super rich super handsome guys whose only problem are super rich super beautiful girls. You're damn right I'm jealous of those guys :P.

A worse television idea is "Ari mencari PRT".. roughly translates too "Ari looking for a housemaid". The Housemaid will be paid 10.000.000 rupiah a month ($1200, which is a lot in Indonesia). Like the apprentice I guess, without Donald Trump, or any of the educational content the apprentice has.

A show I've been watching is Scrubs. It's a bit like Ally mcBeal for doctors, with the comedy and the drama. I was looking for a light comedy. Instead I found a wonderful drama about doctors and the problem that they face. It's very very humane, unlike Ally mcBeal which had absurd characters (not that I'm complaining, Ally is very funny too). The writing, the characters, absolutely brilliant....

Why isn't there a show like that in Indonesia? Is it too smart :)?
