Saudi broadcaster MBC takes all of its Turkish TV programmes off the air

Women love them...

There is only one Turkish serial i like to watch and that's "Çukur".

That's because very high acting performance, a very good and dynamic scenario. Rest are garbage to me.

women nowadays are unfortunately dumb but made to think highly of themselves by our society of thirsty men

Mainly Yes , specially Romance and social ...... it as I said the last few years I can see a serious effort from Arab Tv producers to develop their products that makes the Arab drama starts to take it’s place again(Mainly Egyptian) + increasing anti Turks voices that pressures on TV channels that broadcasting Turkish Drama that makes them started to decrease the numbers of Turkish series.
I my self watched Turkish Drama that series of King Solaiman Elkanoni and it was good.....my only comment is it is toooooo loooooooong .... how could I watch a TV series of more than 500 episodes

Since the very beggining, the human being has always sought for the better in any field around, but especially for the soul.

In the world, the current human miggration routes or travel routes can easliy and simply confirm that short sentence above. While the ones migrating or travling thanks to the conditions; the rest can only look behind back, and start to envy of those ''Lucky'' ones.

Right here comes The Turkish model for them to satisfy their souls that seek for the better and also are surrounded by poor social-economic 'oppressive'' conditions.

In the news in the op, the figures and comments of audiences can easily and simply confirm that; like the increasing number of Imiigration or Travellers from the Middle East countries into Turkey by years*.

In short, Freedom and Civilization.

I 'm little bit confused here , on one hand you want to open 3000 new cinema in SA but on the other hand you reducing influence of other countries ( Turkey in this case ) !

Do you want to cut the middleman ( Turkey here ) and directly go to the main source ( The West or Hollywood )
or is it returning to domestic products ?

It's a natural step and move. Are those useless Turkish soap operas watched in say UK, France or Italy (countries with well-known cinema productions)? Are they watched in China? In the US (Hollywood)? Better, are useless Arab soap operas watched in Turkey?

Why should Arabs watch something that we have the equivalents of back home and have had for almost 100 years? Especially if it gives a fake and distorted image and brings nothing good or useful?

As for indigenous industry, building operas, opening art museums, supporting local artists and a local cinema sector (once again like in the old times) is a wise step. Because in KSA such garbage would be regulated in order to protect the society and although I do not agree with censorship I agree with such steps as you can brainwash the brain of youth, just like Western nonsense in this regard, has done it. I don't need to tell you about the effects of *ornography on males (not lacking personally in this department btw but I have read about it) or such useless soap operas whether Arab or Turkish one that indirectly and sometimes directly encourage cheating, superficial behavior and give a fake picture of the reality.

Also have in mind that some producers, especially if state-sponsored are using such dramas, movies and tv series to create their version of history. Often distortion is used. Hollywood is famous for this. No need to mention anything more as a person from the Middle East. You as a Iranian should know what I am referring to here.

So you can expect Erdogan-ruled Turkey to be making historical distortions and create useless dramas praising the Ottomans and some uneducated Arabs will buy it. An example. Or some productions that put the Arab revolt in a bad light. Obviously this was already regulated by all Arab countries (rightly so) but you cannot always get away with it.

In general, regardless of origin, such soap operas (99% of them) are useless. Once ago, this was not the case. See my and @SALMAN F discussion. At least our own Arab soap operas. Not sure with others.

Idiotic troll talking about "civilization" in the context of the Arab world when the Arab world is the cradle of civilization. As for oppression, I suggest taking a look at freedom of speech, living standards, happiness index of numerous countries and compare it with Turkey. You will be surprised in not a positive way. Rest assured that nobody looks at Turkey as something "shining" that needs to be copied on all fronts. There are 100's of other countries to look towards to in this regard before Turkey. With all due respect. It's not like your country has been moving in the right way under the, now 15 year old long rule of Erdogan when it comes to those "freedoms" that you pride yourself on. Just ask Turkish journalists, scholars or the brain-drain that your country suffers from.

Meanwhile (without comparing) a country like KSA is moving in the right direction as per all international rankings.

No interest in such baiting like this one above.


So please express your hysteric crisis elsewhere... come with argument to talk over, if any.

Nobody is buying your nonsense. I know you well here. So keep such fantasy talk to yourself and take those useless soap operas with you while you are it.

Obviously you were not aware of the fact that the Arab world has been producing such nonsense before even the WW2.

Thank you.

You are so sharp on this... You define watching soap operas as useless. Ask your sister or mother, they would say you arguing over the internet in a forum is useless I mean "point of view". I bet you have female family members whom likes to watch useless Turkish soap operas with great fun.

The internet is a goldmine for knowledge, information and exchange of opinions. I gain new knowledge each day while using the internet. Spending hours watching 100 episodes of some fantasy soap operas (not even historically accurate), I would not consider a useful thing.

Yes, forums are sometimes a waste of time but nobody is perfect and being productive 24/7 is not possible always.

BTW this is not about soap operas, series or television by itself. It's about content and whether it is useful for the society as well. There is useful entertainment and then there is useless entertainment. Some standards exist everywhere depending on culture. Wrestling is a popular sport in the US while horse, camel races and falconry are traditional sports in KSA and many Arab countries. As well as poetry, traditional dances and music shows for instance.

I highly doubt so. If they watch anything they watch local ones, other Arab ones or Western ones. My grandmother probably have watched some occasionally as she seems to love romantic nonsense. Rest, I highly doubt.

Besides I do not care if even my future children will watch such nonsense. My opinion will not change and I have argued why in detail.

Look, i agree fully with your post. But that doesn't change the fact that this is our point of view.

Females just like to watch stupid soap operas for the handsome guys, beautiful women, and nice scenery. If a stupid serial like "Gümüş" becomes a a hit in the Arab world with over 80 million views, Arab women's taste is not much different.

I highly suspect that they will prefer camel races over stupid serials.

 

[Max]

It's a joke. Those dramas have nothing to do with most of Turkish society today in 2018 let alone those historical dramas (not watched them) from Ottoman times! They are trying to create a fake and distorted reality.

I watched an episode of Turkish history Drama about Sultan Murad (bcoz my younger bother was watching it) it shows Emperor Shah Jahan who used to rule richest empire of the world bowing to Ottoman King Murad IV.. and i was like

They are stupid because of these garbage soap operas many families were ruined and the divorces were in rise they can't just understand it's fantasy and not reality and the real world there is not such thing as perfect lover

A few more popular Turk series:

Mehmed: Bir Cihan Fatihi/Mehmed the Conqueror

Vatanım Sensin/Wounded Love

İstanbullu Gelin/

They are trying to show that the ottomans were superiors and considered rulers of the Muslims

Shah jahan never met the sultan personally he sent an envoy to the ottomans


Also during the battle of baghdad they show that the Safavid commander is being killed in battle while in reality he wasn't killed


In this erdoganstani garbage propaganda shows that it was the ottomans who made the war between Spain and America and the jews are behind the fall of the Ottoman Empire it supposed to be historical show but instead it's propagand with fantasies and fictions
