Dude, you must have missed the "por un Sueņo" (Bailar, Cantar, Respirar) series. Those, and L'Academia are just plain awful.

Fortunately Shangri-La did not have TV's in the room and the only thing going on TV while we were there (in the entertainment room) was World Cup Soccer

The departing flight time and gate screen at the airport. That show always depresses the hell out of me.

Be fair, the Eurovision Song Contest had nothing to do with Simon Cowell!
On the other hand, it was a springboard for Celine "Why Didn't She Go Down With The Bloody Boat?" Dion...

That is your punishment for watching TV while on vacation at the beach.

I donīt watch that stuff here at home, you shouldnīt watch it on vacation.

I actually lived in England at that time, and watched ABBA win. I thought they were the bomb. I still think they were pretty innovative, and made fun of, way too much.

Funniest Foriegn TV experience
In our hotel bar in Lisbon Men in Black was playing in English with Portugese subtitles. For every minute of dialog there was a sentence or so subtitled. Had to have missed 90% of the dialog. I wonder how much we miss when we see a subtitled film
