[QUOTE="FleischmannTV, post: 550243, member: 23687"] FleischmannTV was a very unusual call-in tv show made by the German satirical comedian Heinz Strunk, which was aired on the TV station VIVA in the same country in the year of 2003. Heinz Strunk assumed the mantle of the animated figure named Fleischmann (= meat man in English) and commented in a very sarcastical, sometimes profane, yet still intellectual and spot-on manner on current music videos. At the time of its origin, the German version of American Idol (Deutschland sucht den Superstar), had just finished its first season. The best thing about the show was that most of the few people, who watched, didn't have a clue what it was supposed to be and you could tell it by the people who called. Most of them didn't understand that the show's purpose was to make fun about the current trends in the music industry and television, and, of course, the humor was at least one level too sophisticated for the typical VIVA watcher. It was great while it lasted and it was pure luck that a concept like this even aired in the first place, especially on that TV station. For the german speakers, here you can find old episodes in extremely low quality: [URL]http://kompetenzcenter.dirknet.net/?page_id=312[/URL] [/QUOTE]
