Or would see, if I ever bothered with TV.I don't know how it's with you over the Big Pond, but German TV is something like this:It starts in the mornings,  reruns of a thousend different soap operas (from the previous day), Breakfast TV with all those nonsensical topics noone in his right mind would care about. I guess then it's some ancient TV series or whatever to pass the time until the afternoon arrives. Then it gets nasty. On the upside: All those damn chat shows seem to be gone, at least mostly gone. We no longer see people being payed to pass themselves off as all kinds of social losers with twisted outlooks and moral concepts ("I date my sister but my fater says no", "Why I'd rather breed gerbils at home than go to work" and so on). But: I don't know if the new thing isn't actually worse: Court shows, where people who just have to be selected for their apparent inability to act (I think they actually train people to act that badly. It just cannot occur naturally) play at being plaintiffs and culprits (usually, their role changes after the half-time break) or judges. Then come all the soap operas and telenovelas, all with basically the same plot items (siblings falling in love and finding out they aren't siblings, lovecrazed people kidnapping others, general murder and betrayal, rape and theft, intrigue and whatever) Until finally it's 20:15 and the movie comes. If it's a movie (and if it is, it's usually something that is aired for the 100th time) and not a series (some of them might actually be good, but often they're no better than the rest) or, even worse, one of those reality shows. Sitting in the living rooms of friends an relatives for half an hour with the TV on is enough to make me run away screaming.(okay, I'm done with this rant. I'll just go and wash the foam off my mouth)In comparison to that garbage, a show about RPGs, with decent gamers and some people who not only know about the game, but are actually fit to be put in front of a camera, would be a refreshing change of pace. Of course, it won't be done, ever. People might get ideas about how to pass their time better than watching TV...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
