Eretz Nehederet

the first season started really badly but after about 5 shows they became one of the best show ever shown in israel, which is surprising because usually programs with with this rating are a little kitch and not very funny but in eretz nehederet every part of the show was done wonderfully.

the second season started a lot better than the beginning of the first season but there is a feeling recycling the same jokes. their cast is unbelievable, 6 superstars that each one of them already had a prime time show. their assistant, alma zack is great in the new season. I'm sure the later shows of this season will be much better than the first shows.

It's been years since Israeli TV brought us a funny, sharp satire. The main concept of the show is a group of commentators discussing the events that took place the past week. The show became a sensation after only a few weeks of broadcasting. People started to talk and imitate the characters, an act we didn't see since "SNL". Using sharp, smart writing and a very professional group of actors, this show managed to get record numbers in ratings. The show's success also drove celebrities to want to participate on the show. Even American actor, Jason Alexender ("Seinfeld") filmed a sketch for the show during his past visit in Israel on February 2004. This show is defenetley the best show Israeli viewers got to see this season (2003-04). So, if you're looking for entertainment on a boring Friday night, you don't have to leave the house- just turn up the volume, and enjoy the characters to grown to know and love shock you with their sharp-witted sketches.

Who needs real news?

Possibly the most over-rated show to ever appear on Israeli TV. I really can't understand why so many people are crazy over this show, because personally I think it's pure trash. The jokes are not funny, and the characters are VERY annoying. There are some characters there that make me want to puke. Most of the ones portrayed by Tal Fridman especially. I'm not even going to start writing what I think about the character of Luba. The jokes themselves are in about a level of end of high school play, only less funny. I am one who easily laughs from stupid jokes, but this show is really over the hill.

The 2/10 mark does go for the one funny joke every 10 episodes or so.
