I already fixed it by subscribing to Netflix and navigating the high seas.
Let the Japanese people speak out their minds. Hell be controversial if they want
Have you seen american television lately?It’s even shittier with boring CM and lame/plastic reality shows every channel. It’s hard to compete with YouTube and streaming nowadays which is what I watch mostly.
Jail all hosts/guests who scream: 美味しいいいいいい & へえええええええええー
Usually I just hit the power button. Seems to do the job.
watch good content like wednesday downtown, london hearts, can i follow you to your home, gaki tsukai, sanma koujou inkai, downtown dx, getsu you kara yofukashi etc. you should watch variety shows that are nightly.
Continue to not pay for NHK
Everything needs to be in the anime medium.
Remove all those reaction shot boxes that pop up all over the screen.
Who watches broadcast TV anymore?
Seriously. If I turn on the TV it’s to: YouTube (news) , Netflix, or other streaming services.
Just a couple of movie channels would be great. AFB channels like in Korea would be good also.
Remove all food content besides a dedicated show now and again. Tired of close up views of shaking chopsticks holding food I can’t smell or taste… Also more world news
I will start from small steps: remove the guest face reaction in the corner of the screen, we don’t need their pretentious face.
Remove the quizzes section, they always make everything to be quiz just so that even the unimportant guest get the turn to talk
And the meaningless countdown before revealing something.
Totally hate that pattern where they cover something or mosaic etc especially before CM.
Oh, and the cringey dub..
…and the list goes on..
But I will let Suiyobi Downtown be as it is coz I like it lol.
Add some gay characters. There are none in primetime Japanese dramas.
its either food or people talking. Maybe put more tv shows and movies? I dont watch tv at all though, i dont think I would ever go back to tv.
I’ve recently watched a couple of episodes on Chinese period drama on youtube out of curiosty.
The costumes, the sets, the camera shots, the action, the acting, the intrigue, etc. are just amazing. Watching Japanese period drama is like watching a Southeast Asian soap opera, lots of cringy scenes, nothing of substance.
To fix Japanese TV, they need to allow producers/directors who didn’t grow up watching these cringy Japanese TV direct something, which means it will never happen.
Become a tv director so you can fix it yourself
Japan is starting to make really good content on streaming services, Gannibal on Disney+ and First Love on Netflix for example.
My first critique would be to have those caliber of shows be on regular broadcast TV alongside the streaming services like anime does.
I think the variety shows is a losing battle. Late night talk shows are just as terrible in the US anyway.
Just kind of wish they’d stop acting like every thing they eat is the most delicious thing imaginable.
I’m honestly tired of seeing a bunch of people fake laughing at unfunny jokes and all those food shows. And the very cartoonish and over-the-top effects too.
The only tv show I will ever accept is sekai neko-aruki. No other tv show can be as important and good.
For variety shows:
– No video overlays (reaction boxes, random words, etc…) – Give honest reactions instead of an advert for whatever is on the screen – Have varied opinions on issues
For news/weather/documentaries:
– Use video overlays properly – Present both sides of an issue – Separate editorial content from factual content
For dramas:
– Hire actors/actresses and not idols for roles – Avoid stereotypes (both Japanese and foreign) – Show representation of minorities to normalize them to the public
Make it so you can add an adblocker, to cut all the adds. Also you can have a bunch of independent creators just create whatever they like, and you can just search up whatever you’d like to watch whenever you like, available anytime.
Oh shit it’s just YouTube.
I don’t see any single redeeming benefit of watching TV over YouTube, Netflix, or just watching a DVD or whatever.
I didn’t have a TV in my home country either.
But if forced to choose some changes, maybe all those little annoying boxes of people watching what we are watching. Who the fuck is that for even?
Also I’d let the reactions to random things like eating a meatball to just be believable and human.
Less adds.
Well, Japanese TV used to be interesting, IMO. Dramas used to be much grittier, at least compared to now.
Parents became much more sensitive to what their children saw, causing the entertainment industry to undergo pretty big changes.
By current regulations, a lot of old TV shows/movies couldn’t even be aired on TV now.
So, what I would do is stop regulating the content to the extent that they do now. Drugs, prostitution, gambling, adult humor, violence, nudity used to be much more prevalent. Now, does all that need to be present in order to make “good” TV? No. But the sterilized perfect tower mansion perfect family love triangle dramas that they have going on now are just mind bogglingly boring. There’s no risk factor.
Recently, seeing IWGP in the top 10 on Japanese Netflix has me feeling hopeful. Maybe interest in similar shows will cause TV stations to experiment some more.
Edit: Along the same lines, comedians had much more freedom. The last “good” show that I actually enjoyed was Getsuyo kara yofukashi, but it was moved from the latenight slot (which allows adult humor) to a prime time spot, which means they’re regulated much more.
No TV is my solution…. until sumo season’s on and I watch online
Not replaying a “funny” reaction five times would probably help
Unplug your antenna and use a streaming service. Who wants to watch a guy eating food all day? Or hear all those forced laughs? Or that silly slap on the head after saying something? Every time I see a Japanese TV channel my IQ drops 100 points. Ugh.
I love Japan TV. If you think it’s so bad then don’t watch! Fixed. 💁🏼♂️
I mean, broadcast TV anywhere is hot fucking garbage. You fix that by not watching it.
That’s like asking “how would YOU make the leftover food from the sink drain trap taste good” instead of just not fucking eating it.
I actually really enjoy it.
Tune into another countries broadcast
I think more food, and food related content. Maybe some of my favorite celebrities eating food and showing their reactions.
Have a Gordon Ramsey like character go to restaurants and give them his honest opinion. We need a good dose of negativity to balance out all the vapid 美味しい！！！
