       one of the many reasons i hate tv shows is most of them are clearly embarrassed by their filmic form. so much tv is just wading through a slurry of dull dialogue until the episode ends. they're radio plays for attention deficit millenials

       @pingviini @garfiald Curious, I thought German would have a multisyllabic word to describe that peculiar feeling of suddently wanting to watch something else than Derrick or Alarm für Cobra 11

       @hellpe @garfiald No true German Fernsehmensch would ever experience this feeling ... There even used to be a time-filler show called "Zapping", which ran on Germany's first premium cable/satellite channel. It ran for over a decade and was a clip-show of more or less funny bits from all over the previous week's free-to-air TV channels, presented without comment.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1TB2XzzE9-lZASwi1ZdGcnfms1T6pLRs

       @pingviini @garfiald We had exactly the same thing in France! Except it was curated by situationists on cocaine and interspersed serious news snippets and silly out-of-context footage. Basically the doomscrolling experience of the 90shttps://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Zapping?wprov=sfla1
