European television is a different experience for American travelers. Our family lucks out and we rarely watch European television as we have American satellite television (we don't actually watch that much television anyway, but when we do, it's all in English).
When we stay at a hotel, we usually never turn the TV on. It's not worth it for the 3 English channels you will find which are CNN World News, BBC News, and the Jesus channel (seriously, I am NOT making that up).
The other fun thing that European television has is soft porn at night.
Well Papa, he likes to watch TV. We've kind of been depriving him because we don't watch much in the house and he is not used to what we have anyway, so our whopping 6 channels don't thrill him much. He wanted to turn on the TV in the hotel.
After about 30 minutes of trying to turn the darn thing on, we thought we had it. And in that split second before the TV turned on, with my four children all watching intently, the thought finally occurred to me "Please, oh please. Don't let it be porn."
It wasn't. Yet.

I've noticed when I watch BBC at night that they get away with a lot more than the censors of American TV allow, but I didn't know it was porn! Papa may be turning the TV on when the kids go to sleep!
