Broken Capillaries On Breats

TV: "Knowing" is not fun

decades ago on TV there were several proposals that had to do with the public. Our parents (Argentina) recall even cycles as Odol Question "and we have images in our memory" Planting Time ", this by naming two programs trying to explore in some depth in the knowledge of a participant, either about Greek mythology, soccer, music or technology aero - space. There was also another waterfall question and answer programs, more general, so to speak, but "light", but they also had to do with reward knowledge. The guy who knows gets the money or the blender.
not have to be a great analyst to realize that once these formats were hits on the rating sheets, because they accumulate in the television schedules and no channel lacked a program. Even in some cases was the star of programming in prime time.
Over time, this type of transmission began to disappear gradually, to be absent from the screens, I dare say, worldwide. There were only some scraps. Give two examples of the TV Argent.
In "The Last Passenger," students answer questions at a time (with multiple choice, do not press so much), but the same program where another focuses on games based on visual memory, get the clothes to the pretty girls of staff and ending with the shower, so (by the way men make a stand on the safe read, women and forgiveness, I just want to graph):



On the other hand, the program Susana Gimenez each section is well-known "Unbeatable", which is fine, people are showing a lot of culture, but within the same show is another piece dedicated to the "Labyrinth of Dogs" (If anyone ever saw him, yes, put dogs through a maze, as is.)
The concept of "Program entertainment ", no doubt, changed a lot. I remember recently, in primetime to one of the main channels (Telefe), led by one of the highest-paid entertainers in the country as Julian Weich, a program was based on the participant will guess that post had white lights without running into the red. An hour and a half "that." Awards basically holed carom.
Not to mention that you are asked to send an SMS and start answering questions. Again, thanks to the company that lent me the phone service was falling (but is priceless), took the opportunity to participate in one of them, led by Nico Repetto irregular. Never forget I asked "In which continent is Australia?" and the options were "a) Europe, b) Africa c) Asia." Stunned at the inability to say the correct answer (for those who do not know is Oceania), I played for the "c" to see what happened. Seconds later I get a message saying: "Right!". Draw your own conclusions.
Someone, after reading this could tell me that people today are less intelligent or more ignorant than it was years ago. I would not dare to draw such a conclusion, but if I dare say that the massive public these days not amused knowledge, "know" stop being entertaining. Today they prefer other things, that require less attention, be able to do something else while watching TV, or directly, not thinking. TV as an escape from reality perhaps. And neither is wrong, well, history is cyclical say, maybe in a few years, Pancho Ibáñez stop doing commercials for milk and yogurt, and then ask questions on Channel 13.
