You should try Portuguese tv Jo - it's more news and footie. There is also a channel dedicated to accidents, fires, emergencies
And the soaps? Gawd, awful, the acting is like 1940's, as well as the story lines. We watched one, in the hospital long ago when this bloke was being chased, we were laughing and got told to shut up
He kept looking back with the supposed look of horror on his face. It really was comical.
But the Portuguese only got tv a few years (well, a few more than a few
and where ever you go, chemists, doctors, hospital, even the butchers, they have the tv on
They literally just stand there, gawping at it
Every bar has at least one and it's normally on the footie channels
