Russia Media & Entertainment

Not only do I enjoy the Russian radio stations, such as N-R-J radio, which plays Euro-pop/dance, and Russkoe radio, which plays only Russian music, but I also enjoy the entertainment that Russian television has to offer. There is one program, Счастливые вместе (Happy Together), which is a direct copy of Married With Children (or the later Unhappily Ever After) of the late '80s and early '90s in America. The actors have been chosen specifically to emulate the look and sound of Al, Peggy, Bud, the dog and even a Christina Applegate-clone. The show is on ТНТ every day from 20:00-21:00. Aside from this show, you can also choose to enjoy Такси (Taxi), a Russian take on the American show, Cash Cab. In the reality television genre, you can watch Дом 2 (House 2), which is somewhat like the American show, Big Brother. If you fancy game shows, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? has a Russian version! Finally, if you are tired of the Bob Saget or Tom Bersheron versions of America's Funniest Home Videos, then the Russian version will keep you laughing.

Not the Simpsons? That's a shame.
Glad you have something to watch while you're home. But if my time with you at Grinnell is of any indication, then it probably doesn't matter much anyway. I never recall you watching TV unless you're just leaving it on while going to sleep.

No, they have The Simpsons too, but I already have The Simpsons in Russian here on DVD thanks to Natalia! :) Haha, that's true. I don't really watch TV here either. I leave either MTV or MUZ-TV music tv channels on in the background for music while I do homework and then usually fall asleep to a Russian movie.
