Last year I went on a college trip to France, where I stayed (with a friend) with a French family. Every evening, the mother would sit down to do some cross-stitch, and the father sat down with us to watch TV. Only the ONLY thing they ever seemed to watch was On a tout essayé! Now usually I'm all for watching new things, being a media and film student, and I understood it ok, being a french student, but the fact is that the show *wasn't* funny, *wasn't* clever and i nearly ended up screaming on the last night when it reappeared on the TV one last time. I'm sure the french like it......or maybe it's a case of the family *not* liking us. Either way, they were quite happy to watch it. Maybe I missed something. Possibly it's just french humour that doesn't translate well to English. Rant over.
