Starmania (a brummagem entertainment)

Are you kidding? It's the best show, which has ever been made by the ORF!

All joking aside, Starmania is a pure light show in the main evening program without any content. Personally, I think that such cheap programs go up in an inappropriate quantity, independent of the program category. I think of for example "Reich und Schön", "Die Super Nanny", "Tausche Familie", "Verliebt in Berlin" and so on (please don't hit me if any title is not correct).
For really good and interesting TV programs, for example some documentation, you sometimes have to wait the whole night if you want to see them.

Apart therefrom thousands of Austrians enjoy watching Starmania and properly sympathize with the candidates. They are even poised to call or send a sms for them, although they have to pay for it. It seems to me that there must be something within the show I don't recognize (maybe it's the charm of graceful Arabella or the pin sharp comments of Mr. Eder).

In conclusion I have to tell you that I don't really like Starmania, but I believe it's the best show you can watch when you come home from Campus02 at Fridays and want to fall asleep rapidly.

@Hermann: Thank you very much indeed for this unbeatable topic :-)
