I dunno, personally I don't like them very much, but since they are constantly on air, I suppose they are pretty successful. Some are almost watchable (like the Italian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire), but others are just vomit inducing in my opinion (with the moronic participants, the scripted routines and the fake tears). My grandma love them, tho, so maybe there is something there.
Please just don't learn Italian from Romanesque-speaking presenters!
I'm not even sure what that this means! My husband and I almost got into trouble a couple of years back when they were filming Strasera mi butto!
Well, a bit of 'splaining: not to generalize, but many people from the region of Rome think that they don't need to get rid of their dialect (Romanesque) when speaking to people from other parts of Italy, thinking that somehow everybody would understand it (we don't). Since people in the showbiz usually from Rome, a disproportionate amount of people on tv speaks with a strong Romanesque accent.Please just don't learn Italian from Romanesque-speaking presenters!
It would be similar if most people on US tv would speak with strong Californian accents, only worst because Italian dialects are more removed from standard speech than American accents. So if you listen to them, you would pick this accent instead of the correct one. Not a terrible thing, I suppose, but I thought you ought to be warned.
What kind of troubles did you get into about that particular show?

I might have htis wrong, but isnt that a co production with CBS?
