This post will not interest the one or two regular readers because I doubt whether they're familiar with Italian TV.

Probably the commodity we missed most in Ecuador was TV and it shows because we're daily overdosing with the box. This winter season the stations brought some great shows to the extent that we can kiss our social lives goodbye and spend a whole week watching different shows, most of them on the Italian state channel RAI Due. I think their investment will pay off as we're spending more and more time watching RAI instead of the usually superior Mediaset channels.

Wednesday is Isola dei famosi (Celebrity Survivor) week, a program that has stirred some commotion in the news this week after the controversial wife, Loredana Lecciso, of famous singer Albano Carisi released a interview on magazine Gente stating that she's planning to separate from her husband. Great timing Loredana what better time to leave your husband then when he's starring on Celebrity Survivor. I'm sure that the hype was a conspiracy to increase the audience against La Talpa the Mediaset reality rival. Having said that, I must admit that I still end up watching these shows with all their scoops and sensationalisms.

While ranting about TV, I cannot help not to mention the Monday dose of Desperate Housewives. I've only watched 4 middle episodes from season one but I dare say that this is the best serial since Scrubs. It even has the pleasure to have helped me understand myself better too. I adore dark humour and I dig a narrator in films.
