For those of you who deplore the passage of Dallas from the Soap
Opera scene, there is new hope. The series is being renin in Russia.
There are a couple of draw backs. First, the dialogue is all in Russian.
Second, the weekly trip over there would a bit time consuming.
On the National News the other night they interviewed some of those
who watched the first episode. I got the impression that the program was
projecting the wrong image of Americans in general and of Texans in
particular. For obvious reasons the Russians believe that Dallas is an
actual depiction of life as it is lived in the U.S.
For years the state has controlled Russian television programming.
There were no sit-coms, no soap operas, no golf games and no
entertainment. Just broadcasts of communist committee meetings and
news. Most of the news was propaganda and had little resemblance to the
truth. I am not sure but they did not show commercials either.
Sometimes commercials can be pretty entertaining.
Dallas in Russia is the result of something new in Russia,
competition. State TV now has rival TV stations on the air because
Boris Yeltsin fought for it in the Russia parliament. Now that the cold
war is over, are we doing the Russians a favor by showing them programs
like Dallas? J.R. hopping from bed to bed when he isn't trying to do
someone in can't be very enlightening.
This experiment took place during a period called on TV, "American
Week." Some of the other programs may do the U.S. more good. For
instance, the Flintstones or Yogi Bear. Both of them were shown. Also
shown were several episodes of Love Boat. None of these programs
contributed much to the Russian culture I am sure. However, it will
show them how we waste our time and that we don't have to stand in line
for groceries. Unless you happen to get in an express line by accident.
