Fictional TriDee show "Neil the Ork Barbarian" is even on "Dragon Hunt" cover.
What shows are smashing hits/ cult stories in Europe Media?

Spiny Vic might still be alive, though reruns of Wunder Krieg from '54 would be the newest gig. Das Ist Unglaublich! probably still on, though Otto von Ored hasn't been the same since they detached his head.

And those are only German products, but with Ares Global Entertainment HQed in Paris, or Javert & Cie also in France (the creators of Urban Brawl) you can bet there are a lot of hit shows in Europe that you could also see in North Am. Magical Globalization

No mentions of Sol? You've hit deep in my own pride...

I wonder if there's still something like today's German Dschungelcamp ... fallen-from-grace celebrities undergoing mild to medium torture just to be on the screen again. Ah, the cynical media world ...

Plus, there'll certainly be a alot of localized shows from Japan, as well as rip-offs of those shows made with a European cast, low budget, and a ghastly script.

In Polish TV right now, soap operas are smashing hit ( ).
One of the best known is "M jak Miłość" ("L like Love").
I heard SR players are watching "H like Hatred"...

Awww, poor you! Hope they're not as badly made as those that were very popular (and still are, to a point) in Germany in the late 90s - GZSZ (Good Times, Bad Times) being the most notorious one.

"A is for Ares", "B is for Body Count", "C is for Combatgun" ...

Can someone come up with a reason to ban soap operas from 2050 onwards?

Please, otherwise corrie and enders are going to be enslaving the masses and dumbing society down forever!!!

Well, that's why they call it Dark Future ...

What about daytime telly? Trisha and killjoy? Hell on earth! The scourge has arrived early!!

God, Robert Kilroy Silk... I've met that assnut. Yes, he's as big a primping wanker as you think.

To be honest, I doubt British programming will change much over the next 60 years. The faces may change, but the basic content will, I think, remain the same. I expect to see more variations on the soap opera theme, regular sports, naff chat shows, etc.

With the resurgence of the aristocracy, I foretell a handful of programmes based on that theme. Let's see...

"Young Aristos" - teen drama among the jetset of Britain's aristocracy. Beverley Hills 90210 with nobles.

"Halls of Power" - Drama series set at the sharp end of politics. All skewed to show the aristocracy in the best light, of course.

"Lords and Ladies" - Title stolen without remorse from that show in the Max Payne games. Claptrap pseudo-historical romantic drama for the couch potatoes.

"Hearts and Coronets" - title shamelessly plagiarised, but who in 2064 will remember the original? Basic soap opera bonk-drama for the chattering classes.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Coronation Street: The Trog Gated Community.

Some really really boring sports in the Uk like sheep herding and crew races.

Hey there's nothing wrong with one man and his dog, top entertainment.

Well, with the resurgence of the public elite and nobles in a lot of Europe, I'd say that Spanish trid surely would go for programs based on their stories: who's with who, where they go, who they meet, and all that drek we see arround every day on TV.

And, not to forget, Big Brother Max Edition 2064... just to think about it makes me sick...

yeah, but big brother in the future would still be the same droll washed out celebs trying to up their chances. You will still get hello style mags that just bore you to tears!

Big Brother Aztlan: One winner. All others ... vanish ...
