Although we still have shows like Paradise Hotel and the like here in Norway, the trend has gone more towards shows where the contestants are there for their stories and/or skills, instead of their ability to get drunk, act stupid and f##k anything that moves. And no, I do not count shows like "blank got talent" and "blank idol" among these (just admit it, the main amusements with those shows are the ones that think they can, but actually can not).

Tomorrow is the start of the third season of a show called "hver gang vi m�tes/everytime we meet" here in Norway. This is by far my favorite TV show. In it, 7 established musical artists are brought together for one week. During that time each artist has his/her day, in which the other 6 do their version of one of the songs the person whos day it is has written.
Amongst all this, the cameras also picks up stories, and interviews are made about how the songs came to be, what the artist really ment with the song etc.

Now, finally, where I was going all along. Does any other nation have a show lile this? Would like to know, as that would send me into a youtube-frenzy ;)

I think it is based on a Dutch show. In Sweden it is named S� mycket b�ttre.

September convderted a childrens song in this show and I am very fond of the result.

But I prefer the show S� ska det l�ta based on the show The Lyrics Board.

I've quite enjoyed Lilyhammer. For the uninitiated, it's a comedy/drama about a New York gangster who is in hiding in Lillehammer, Norway. Much of the humour revolves around the juxtaposition of his American/Mafia methods with Norwegian cultural norms. Having been to both New York and Norway, I've found it funny, although I notice it hasn't received rave reviews in the U.S.

Cheers, Neilster

For some strange reason Bruce Springsteen claimed to love it too ;)
Season three is in writing, so more to look forewards to.
