I hardly watch television between 9-11 pm but today, tired of strikes and taxes, wanted to watch something light to amuse myself. And there came the shock! I zapped ANT1 and there was a Turkish series. I zapped MEGA… and I thought my tele-control wasn’t working because I hear “Turkish” again. My double checked confirmed it: Mega was broadcasting a Turkish series as well in prime time evening zone. Depressed acotrs and drugs gangs…. Pure culture. Imported.
For those who has no clue about Greek TV, ANT1 and Mega are the biggest private television networks in Greece. And then Greek get angry about 40-year-old broken Piri Reis…

* Turkish song very famous among Greeks
A close friends wife, sister x 4 and mother are all hooked on turkish and watch it without fail ! – Then they call each other on whats up and talk about it !
The positive view on this is: Piri Reis is about the future of oil, wealth and power. These series are just a bit of nostalgia to a common past?
still sleeping, my dear?
