What are some good Japanese tv shows? it can be anything: game shows, documentaries, talk shows, drama, comedies etc. Just to explain it to 790ps, as I have no idea how to send a private message: The reason I mentioned that it could be anything is because I want to hear the language in all types of different situations. For example: people speaking in a comedy will most likely use a different way of speaking than a broadcaster from a news program would. I really don't see what is wrong with my question. Why stick to just one type of show? I don't watch just one type of show in English/Dutch when I watch tv, so why would I when watching Japanese television?
