Velmi křehké vztahy

An unsurprising extreme. The last remnants of watchability that allowed Family Ties to cling to a shaky half star went away with the original name. Unwatchable trash. (01/18/2007)

Similarly witty and cunning as the telephone voting (50 CZK/ 1 call) for the cash prize of a game show on TV Prima with really stupid questions like "What do you think is the most frequent request for a flight attendant by passengers on an airplane? If you think it's a PARACHUTE, call *******. If you think it’s BEVERAGES, call *******.” A spectacularly stupid and thoughtfully contrived query with the sole purpose of getting the crowds to fire up their cell phones and call, just to make it rain! This prime-time "regular dose of emotions" is similarly cleverly marketed: it doesn't cost much, you don't have to do much filmmaking, housewives and their daughters switch off, do the ironing or chat about the cow next door that bought a new dress, and, above all, you can squeeze in a lot of commercials without losing the thread, which is the most important thing. And the iron has to be struck while it's hot, so sometimes we need to take our soap opera stars on various competition shows, because the "out of sight, out of mind" rule is the number one enemy of any "celebrity". So I don't know about you, but I'm really looking forward to meeting you all in ten years at episode 1134 and finally finding out whether Zounar hit on Božena or Annička and what Hynek had to say about it.
