Tell me about....

...the most succsessful shows in your country and the ones you like most from your country.

Here in Germany there are just a couple of series I love.
Those are:

-"Um Himmel´s Willen" ("For heaven´s sake"): It´s about a couple of nuns who have to "fight" to keep their convent because the major of the town wants to buy it...and well a long story but a great show.

These are only a couple of the actresses who play the nuns. Here´s a link to a site with more pics:

and


-"Lindenstraße" ("Limetree Street"):
A show that deals with the lives of the people living in that street. Recently the 1000st episode has been aired. It´s being aired every Sunday and it started in 1985. So, as you might have guessed already, it is the most successful series in Germany. I grew up with it (I was born in 1984, see?) and that´s why I love it so much. But I have to admit that not a lot of people of my age watch it.

well, we have home and away, which is just about a group of people who live near the beach. it's a soapie, so it can be pretty far fetched sometimes.

neighbours is exactly the same, only they live in a different location.

we have reality shows which are really boring.

mcleods daughters is our top rating drama, its about a group of women on a farm, it was a great show but when they killed off one of the best charactors it isnt worth watching anymore.

Ok,this list is long,but i'll try to cut it.
We have "Mjesoviti brak"(Mixed mariage)
It's about Serbian family-mum & dad,son & doughter,and how their lives can be complicated.It's something like comedy,and it's very popular!





We have lots of latino american telenovelas,most popular are:"Passion de Gavilanes","Prisionera","Apuesta por un amor"

Also,there are:"Will & Grace","That 70's","Malcolm",...So as many others.I hope we could soon see "Charmed" again!

But it was very very dramatic...finally the two protagonists git each other...and then she saw him somehow with another girl who was his sister and she was very sad and he didn't know what happened and so on...a bad mother...jealous friends and so on.


Will&Grace!! I totally love Jack, ahhhhhhh, he's so...so....hihihihihihi, totally awesome how somebody can act like that in a soap!

Salatut elämät "Secret lifes".

The most popular show in Finland is Salatut elämät (I never watch it though.)

Salatut elämät is a drama/soap series about people living in an appartment building in Helsinki.
Salatut elämät is based on the same format as Neighbours so this is sort of a Finnish version of it.



Kumman kaa "With which one you would rather be with"

Kumman kaa is a comedy series about two women; a Swedish teacher Anne and school health care nurse Ellu. Anne and Ellu rather just hang around in Ellus's office that do their jobs. Outside the school they party hard. And they're always asking from each other the question "With which one you would rather be with?"
(For example; With which one you would rather be with, Tom Cruice or Brad Pitt?)



Tahdon asia "It's a will's thing"

This is my fave Finnish TV series at the moment. Tahdon asia is a drama/comedy series about what happens when you want something but can't really get it. The people in the series are middle-aged and they have to find a new way to live their lifes.
