What are some good Japanese tv shows?
it can be anything: game shows, documentaries, talk shows, drama, comedies etc.
Just to explain it to 790ps, as I have no idea how to send a private message:
The reason I mentioned that it could be anything is because I want to hear the language in all types of different situations.
For example: people speaking in a comedy will most likely use a different way of speaking than a broadcaster from a news program would.

I really don't see what is wrong with my question. Why stick to just one type of show? I don't watch just one type of show in English/Dutch when I watch tv, so why would I when watching Japanese television?

Answer

Thanks for your question. You said:

> ... it can be anything: game shows, documentaries, talk shows, 
> drama, comedies etc...

Your comment does not make sense. You must have some (unstated) goal in watching Japanese TV, and yet you say that ANY possible TV program is OK. The problem is that you have not clearly explained WHY you are interested in watching Japanese TV.

Is it language, such as Keigo or Hyogen or Hyojungo or whatever?

Is it entertainment?

Is it some specific aspect of culture?

Each of these goals calls for a completely different answer. Please be more specific and clear in what you are asking for, in consideration of the people answering these questions.
