What is so good in Turkish shows?

Three years ago, we did not even know that Turkey is a country that produces any type of shows. Now the Turkish culture is invading our homes through their sitcoms and daily shows, not to mention their movies. The shifting to Turkish shows began about a year ago as a trail by MBC channel which as per their saying "was a successful trail". I don't know how they mueasure success of broadcasting, but I guess it has to do with commercials. If sales increase during the period of airing these shows, it means that more poeple are watching, but it also means that these people are dump enough to buy the silly products that are commercialized. I never met any person that was affected by a commercial to buy any product. Throught my life, I did not buy a product because it appeard during my favourite show.. I would rather not buy it because it ruined my time, making me wait impatiently for it to finish.

I drifted away. Let's go back to the subject. The Turkish culture is very different from our own. I live in Saudi Arabia, and to see these shows dubbed in Arabic language (Syrian dialict) makes one almose believe that the show is recorded in an Arab area. The problem is that Turkey is a country that is home to differenct religins and beliefs. One of them are that non-religous group which acts as if they are in the United States. A good example is showing poeple drink alchohol and wine. Another is a kiss between different sex. And that is the big problem that we have to pay attention to before it goes too late. I mean that might seem normal on a movie from the US but we woluld never accept dubbing a US movie to Arabic because it would seem like we accept that behavoir of the actors as Arab actors.

If we are to watch Turkish shows, then we might consider watching them in their own language and with Arabic subtitles. Also the scense of drinking and mis-behavoir should be cut because there are kids and teenagers watching the show.. You can imagine what would happen if we let this thing go on and on.

I have to end this blog right now, because my sister which is a big fan of these shows are reading my post, and might do anything to prevent me from posting it...

So see you soon
