Hello everyone.

I am from Japan and I�m interested in other country�s entertainment like TV program or movies, comics and something like that.
And also I think that searching about TV program will give you a hint to understand that country�s culture.
Could you give me your information about what kind of TV program is famous around you and if you can, why do you think it is famous?

Thank you

The fad right now is "reality TV" like Survivor.

Reality shows like "Big Brother" really catch people's attention. But usually we are addicted to TV Globo soap operas.

Right now there is a sopa opera on TV named "P�ginas da Vida" (something like "Life's pages") which talks about some of the problems of the everyday life.

The main story is about a Doctor who adopts a girl with down syndrome rejected by her own grandmother, but there are other plots concerning alcoholism, bulimia, infidelity, divorce. The common ingredients of Brazilian soap operas.
