On December 13, it was after almost 33 years for the last time “Welcome to Wetten, dass ..?”. But that’s good? A German television without “Wetten, dass ..?”? Many say Yes! Because it would not be able to go on. But are we sure?
The last big TV’s flagship sank. And we looked calmly to it. Still a bit incredulous that it really happened. Who could have imagined that in the past few decades – “Wetten, dass ..” a German television without? Although no one.
If fought on a Saturday night in the largest venues in the country’s most bizarre bets and the biggest stars were guests, fever all over Germany before the tube televisions with. The streets: deserted. The highest rate managed Frank Elstner with 23.42 million viewers in February 1985. A date on a night was unthinkable – a maximum of one met the “Wetten, dass ..?” Look
With child. cone in front of the television
It was still a family show in the truest sense of the word. Back when we do not yet shooing children daily under the shower, were allowed even the smallest after the weekly bath with Nivea cream greasy shiny faces with the sofa. There were a few evenings a year, where they were allowed to stay up without limit -. Even if Thomas Gottschalk Plated an hour
Legendary performances, the story was
It was as would the Stars in our living room. Who does not remember to Michael Jackson, with unbuttoned white shirt, as it is pivoted on this crane over the cheering audience and a full chest the “Earth Song” blares? A legendary performance, which went down in history -. Like so many? “Wetten, dass ..” in almost 33 years
were the the big “Wetten, dass ..?” – moments
The end is not Markus Lanz’s debt
Still,. The show has over three decades of relevance lost, somehow seems remote. Whether Markus Lanz has to answer for that and another presenter after the end of the era Gottschalk the former ZDF draft horse could have saved? Probably not!
But Lanz had for the frustration of a TV Nation atone. He could do what he wanted – he was beheaded medial way or another. The critics were lurking for a long time no longer in secret, they were greedy for new “missteps” or actions that could be interpreted as such. It is only since yesterday night Markus Lanz can find the hoped peace.
Markus Lanz is not necessarily the big show master
Lanz himself once said to “Wetten, dass ..?” “I knew that I go out into a clearing, and the guys are already sitting there with rapt shotgun” To have him “Der Spiegel” already “done before the first minute was sent.”. Because: “If you constantly write into the sinking, then you will get it too.”
Now Lanz has failed, we all failed
But who in the end blame for the demise of the TV Tankers ? We all! The ZDF editors, viewers, their patterns of consumption, the guests, the moderators. ABC Online asked media expert Christian Schicha the reasons.
“Lance is on permanent display, makes not rare. As a result, the event character of the shipment was lost “
The successor of Thomas Gottschalk was difficult. Schicha: “Markus Lanz was obviously not the first choice of the ZDF. The popular Hape Kerkeling has publicly refused to host the show. Lanz is also constantly seen with his talk show on ZDF and does not as rare as Gottschalk has done so. As a result, went to the event character of the shipment lost. “
But especially Lanz had by Gottschalk’s departure from the outset no chance. And if so, it was made difficult for him since the first shipment. The media and audience – it seems – never on his side. Now he is finally failed. And we with. But one thing is certain: We are “Wetten, dass ..?” Miss. In spite of everything.
This is why the audience did not stop clapping
