I decided to write this post today as something very suprising has developed with my TV watching lately, I seem to have taken a shine to the local soapie/series "7de Laan" . I didnt think i would ever follow a South African TV series (and definitely not a Afrikaans one), but to my surprise I find myself hooked on it.
Like alot of South africans i grew up watching alot of American TV series (& soapies) and even the occassional Australian soapie (you remember Home & away and Neighbours, dont you?) because of this I always thought our local soapies and TV series (if you could even call them that back then) were horrible, dull and talentless in comparison. Well, I am singing a whole new tune now. Local is lekker and it seems to only be getting better.
I dont think id choose 7de Laan over a an episode of "Friends" or "Gossip girl" quite yet...but who knows...maybe one day.

btw, i watched b&b for years!!! i can still remember when i went to veldschool in st 5 (is that 20 years ago????) my mom had to tape every episode for me... i still occasionally watch steph, brook and ridge and cannot believe that they are still going at it... like wabbits ;)
Local is lekker, I'm hooked on Isidingo, it's been fantastic, although I must admit lately it's been a bit pathetic.
