At home, I watch less than an hour of TV per week. In Italy, I couldn't resist the temptation to surf the waves. Home shopping channels are BIG BIZ, plus there's a heaping portion of American programming dubbed into Italian. I saw bits of The Cosby Show, The Nanny and the X-Files.
Commercials are an odd mix of Italian and English.
At the close, the question was posed in Italian as text on the screen. But the biggest surprise was seeing my olde rodent pal, a frequent visitor on the Ed Sullivan Show.
