So, in every country we've visited, we've caught a little TV during each stay. The one thing all three countries (Greece, Italy, Spain) have had in common so far, is that they really enjoy darker genres of shows and movies.
In Greece, we had 2 English channels. They played movies like Derailed, Perfect Strangers, and another movie in which women were murdered and no one went to help. For shows, they had The shield, and haunted investigations. In Italy, we only caught whatever was on (and all dubbed in Italian) the common TV, but the first movie seemed to be about depressed women, and the second was about explorers that all died exploring the supernatural. Spain had either the BBC and CNN channels on loop, or English shows dubbed into Spanish like Law & Order (I think). On the last night in Spain, I was able to watch Twilight in English, but only because SilentR was there to "dub" it back for me from Spanish.
Oh. And Spain had porn.
"Are there anymore movies on?"
"No, just the news."
"Oh, well I'm just going to channel surf then."
"Uh, I wouldn't do that if I were you..."
*starts flipping*
"...I was surfing earlier and they're showing commercials for some really, uh, hardcore, girl-on-..."
"WHOA!" *quickly changes channels*
"Yeah, see?"
And to think, what we saw were actually only commercials...
Our next place to stay in London is advertised to have 3 glorious channels--in English! Superb!
