What programmes do you like on Japanese TV ?

As everyone can guess, no Japanese TV channel on France (kanashimi

). But first time I saw some Japanese Tv program it is was in a French program and they talked about Japanese obstacle course program. I was very surprised that Japanese can make that funny and ridiculous programs... and then I saw Lost in Translation, with this henna/crazy comedian ... I couldn't believe it ... who said French programs are ridiculous.

Is there "reality shows" in Japan ? Like Big Brother I mean ?

I only watch the free network TV programs and there are no such shows that I know of. There may be all kinds of weird shows on cable or satellite TV.

I see. I am surprised there isn't any "Reality show" in Japan. Here in France it got popular, on free network TV. I will try to ask Japanese living in France what they think about it.

I think I've seen a Japanese Survivor type show while back but I don't think it lasted very long...those type of shows don't seem popular over here at least..yet.
