Of course, I still *highly* recommend splurging on Sky. No, it's not perfect, but at least there are choices :) Well so long as you can find some bright spots in your basic TV viewing, good on you!

Whether it’s been Chi vuol essere millionario?, Genius (Grande Mike Buongiorno!), or my new fave L’Eredita’, it’s always a nice feeling when you start answering more questions than your Italian friends, and the scantily clad gyrating dancers give my brain a nice rest now and then… :]

You know it was really Dave Coulier that intrigued you.<br /><br />Gil, I watched Larry again this morning. Weird the things you end up missing.<br /><br />Giulia, you're not alone in your transvestite impression. I've been through this conversation *many* times with visitors. I particularly love the way she paces back and forth with the monotone voice on C'è Posta Per Te.<br /><br />Sharon, thanks for the support--on all levels.<br /><br />Loulou, I heart Sky. Really. Next to accepting my now OH's offer of an amaro a couple years ago, getting Sky was the best decision I've made here. TOG, come on. You know it was really Dave Coulier that intrigued you.

Gil, I watched Larry again this morning. Weird the things you end up missing.

Giulia, you’re not alone in your transvestite impression. I’ve been through this conversation *many* times with visitors. I particularly love the way she paces back and forth with the monotone voice on C’è Posta Per Te.

Sharon, thanks for the support–on all levels.

Loulou, I heart Sky. Really. Next to accepting my now OH’s offer of an amaro a couple years ago, getting Sky was the best decision I’ve made here.

Maria and Bonalis....I cringe when my husband watches these shows. Who....would come on TV and put the family dirty laundry on prime time and think it is a good thing? I do watch some Italian Television. I find Rai3 has some good programs. However lately most of the stuff on Italian TV is Italian voiced American programs. Not nice. When I came here 14 years ago they had some creative stuff. <br />Keep writing...you make me smile...laugh even!<br />Sharon I am enjoying this post so much!!

I have had it for the last two months and I don't know what I would do without it! I think Will & Grace & Friends were the first two things I watched in english. I was so giddy! lol I hated watching voice overs for two of my favorite shows knowing that it wasn't their real voices. Sorry, Karen speaking Italian just didn't cut it for me.<br /><br />I know what you mean about the Maria person... when I first saw her on TV here, (embarassed to admit this), I thought she was a transvestite! :0<br />After hubby laughed his ass off, he told me that she wasn't!<br />Hey, how would I have known?<br />I had never seen her before in my life!

And now "Gilmore Girls" will never <i>not</i> be "Una Mamma per Amica."
