What's on TV?
My mother-in-law asked me, "What do you watch on TV? Is it all in Hebrew? Are there any subtitles?" And I thought, what a great blog post!
So what's on TV here in Israel? Lots of stuff! We have an expanded cable package so there are somewhere around 200 stations. There are some Israeli game shows, soap operas, and other shows that are all in Hebrew but most of the channels have TV from other countries.
I just flipped through a few channels and right now, at 8:30 in the morning, there is the American cartoon Recess but it has been dubbed into Hebrew with no subtitles. Last week we watched a couple Seinfeld reruns that were in English with Hebrew subtitles.
I found one great channel that runs different movies all day long. Some are in English, some in Russian, some in Hebrew, but all have Hebrew subtitles.
We also have channels for the History Channel, MGM (old movies), Hallmark (family shows), E!, VH-1 and MTV. I've also found a few channels that host shows from National Geographic and Comedy Central.
There are also many, many channels that are solely in Russian and others that have shows and movies from Bollywood.
If you are really interested, you can even watch what's going on in the Knesset.
For the most part, when we have time we watch TV, we watch FOX News, CNN, or BBC World which are all in English.
