Wetlook World Forum

TVP 1, TVP 2, TVP 3, TV Polonia - hopeless. State TV channels. Usually repeats of the older international movies, some news, no chance for new wetlook. Maybe in the sope operas, but I can't watch something that has an episode a day all week, all year long, as wetlook sceens might appear once a year or never!

TVN, TVN7, TVN24, TVN Meteo, (iTVN is not available here) - maybe the best chance. They had most of the licensed Ciao Darwin, Big Brother, Expidition Robinson etc stuff, but there editing is as I described in the Ciao Darwin thread. The sceens are almost music-video style! And of course a bunch of american movies, newer then those on TVP, but well known. The weather channel (TVN Meteo) sometimes has some wetlook in there "no comment" section in the summer if they put there camera next to a fountain, but I would have to watch it 24 hours a day to catch such stuff - I prefer to go to the chilly polish seaside to watch the action :)

Polsat, Polsat 2, TV4 - same as TVN + more commercials and even more anoying. I remember one polish wetlook sceene, from the crappy reality show Amazonki three years ago. Nothing more.

Canal+, Canal+ Film, HBO, HBO 2, HBO Action etc are hopeless! Haven't sceene a polish movie there for ages. All the same movies you can record from movie channels in the US and any other european countries (with european timing of course, so a bit later then in the US).

Ale Kino, Europa Europa, Kino Polska - channels with less commercial productions. The first two are mainly european cinema. but those movies can probobly be sceen (and recorded) earlier in the countries they were made. Kino Polska is a polish channel, but with only low budget or very old movies. Haven't sceen any wetlook, apart from (much too)young teenagers swiming in a river.

MTV Polska, MTV Classic Polska, Viva Polska, 4FunTV - our music televisions. Not much to say about them. The same stuff you get in other countries. MTV plays american versions of there programs, so if you miss wetlook in them I can tape it, as they are shown for the first time a few weeks later, but nothing else of much interest. There is a program called "Sfawolne MTV", a late night show with interviews by a pool. Sometimes even in the pool on air materasses, but the hosts (female) are usually in bikinis (every time they have contact with water) and out of the "stars" which are usually fully dressed only one male got wet! And the show has been airing weekly for half a year now and probobly will end soon, cause viewers said they would prefer reruns of old Jakcass, Dismissed, Room Raiders, Real World etc episodes then the show. Polish video clips are few and not very good. You can also see some russian, german etc. probobly not avialable in the US, but noch mut wetlook in them (there were to worth mentioning in the last 5 years, with one of them, released a few months later in English - TATU All The Things She Said - not sure if I remember the english title correctly). Of course, you can see wetlook in summer editions of polish TRL and that sort of programs (made on the beach in summer) from time to time, but it is very rare.

That about sums up Polish TV. There are some crappy religius and local channels, but they don't have wetlook and normal people can't stand watching them and the standard Discovery, Reality TV, Travel TV, Eurosport etc channels in quite a large number, but they show the same stuff as they do in other countries.

Well, long and boring, but you probobly see the big picture now - it's really not our bad will that there are no polish clip tapes!
