I've completely given up watching TV because everything is so BAD! There is literally not one good show or programme worth watching on Chinese TV in my opinion!
12 years 1 week ago in Arts & Entertainment - China
Do not watch Chinese Tv at all. So I got sat tv has ESPN, CNN, BBC, discovery and all that kind of stuff.
I only watch randomly a chinese show in a Shandong channel on weekends which is about a contest to run among obstacles to avoid fall in the water. Is quite fun, sometimes they have nice girls and also u can have fun with the lack of athleticness of people who go there. Totally recommended haha
Thats the only chinese program I can see
Yes I mostly watch the sports channels because they will have the NbA, some soccer games and also they will have olympic sports playing from time to time.
Sometimes some people have a channel that broadcasts DotA tournaments. That's the only acceptable thing I've seen so far...
I watch streaming video from projectfreetv.com. All the latest shows from back home.
I never watch Chinese TV unless the gf is watching and I have no choice....this is why I spend so much time online now.
I only watch TV online through any of the many streaming sites, or I just download any shows/movies I can't find easily on the web.
Finding the shows streaming on Chinese websites is always my first choice since they come with Chinese subtitles. That way my wife and I can both enjoy them.
I will watch it with my wife if I get hooked on a story line of a mini series (sad but true)
and I will watch the children programs with my kids sometimes
and I like Happy Camp that gives me a good laugh
but I go online to watch the local news in Australia or on a bad China day catch up on
a sitcom
I haven't really watched TV since January. The last time I turned it on, I couldn't watch anything. I don't think the school has paid for me to get any channels for a while and I don't really care anyway. Like phil said, I like Happy Camp and Love Apartment isn't bad either. Otherwise I don't pay much attention.
linwenqiang:
well,u know,happy camp is quite popular in chinia,most of twenties are suer fans of the program,like me,but i am surprised u guys like watching love apartment,although it is a kind of comedy show, it is easy for u gus figure out the whole content?
havent watched chinese tv since fall 2009. not a big fan of chinse tv shows and all anyway. i always go online to watch news, shows, entertainments, etc.
Have only 6 channels and all crap, sometimes i leave on as its good to listen to Chinese to help your own learning. But mostly download all my shows.
I haven't watched much tv since I came to China. I think some of the shows are just overly dramatic and I agree, some are downright bad.
I even stopped watching NBA games because I can't follow the Chinese commentators.
Usually just download movies and shows from the internet.
Oh, but there is this one talk show, mr. Zhou's show (周立波秀) that I like to watch. It's like a kind of comedy talk show.
You can watch CCTV News.it's a english channel,i am sure u will like some programs,like crossover,culture express,china 24 hours,give it a try
Usually only watch TV when at the foot massage place...
Luckily that in this country, it's easy to buy DVDs, otherwise I would have killed myself since long time ago.
Watching TV in China is like watching Pyongyang TV program.....Whenever you turn to a TV channel, you can just hear the magic words "3000 years history", "China invented this and that", "China was the first to...."
So to h*** with Chinese TV
I quit watching TV long ago at home, got sick of movie channels playing the same thing, a 52'' plasma with surround, I didn't want my TV hooked up here, but GF turns it on as soon as she comes over, then she is in her trance until I need to revive her.
