I'd rather watch a dozen cancelled sitcoms than most cheap crap finnish companies turn out. There are exeptions of course, but they're few and far between. For every Reinikainen and Studio Julmahuvi there is a Suuri Seikkailu and a countryside comedy produced for TV2. “A well produced domestic show”?

This person was very straightforward in saying that the only reason why domestic programmes are produced is their cultural value. They bring in very little or no monetary profit whatsoever. I'm not surprised by this, but it does make me a little sad. A friend of mine works for Sanoma WSOY and she had been talking to the head of programming of Nelonen.

The U.S. stations will give out season 1 of "Whatever" for absolutely nothing, and if your country likes it, they'll sell you seasons 2 onward.

Yet I fail to understand why everything that is produced in Hollywood just HAS to be imported here. I would still rather watch a well-produced domestic programme than some half-ass American sitcom. I would rather see an increase in domestic production than most of our television turning into America-land. I’m a total TV-addict and most of my favorite shows are American.

Didn't know Family Guy was ever here. Well they were on a three year hiatus, so I probably wasn't here yet. Anyways, season 4 of that show is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen, let's hope it comes. I won't be surprised if that show ever gets banned in the U.S., they push the button with every joke. Luckily, the humor is way above the heads of those who'd get offended. Really? Didn’t know Family Guy was ever here. Well they were on a three year hiatus, so I probably wasn’t here yet.
