This year’s quiz, 2016 would also be noticed in 1986. At first glance, it was just a stale and woefully un-current entertainment programme, on closer Inspection, a symbolic nail in the coffin for an entire TV culture.
In ten years, when the public-service television has a similar reach and cultural relevance, as is currently the public Radio, you might finally be thinking about how such a decline into irrelevance. The answer will be: Because of shows like this.
Sure, the celebrity candidate, with a children’s birthday game publicly for the monkeys, are not a new phenomenon. Similarly, the strategy to reduce a highly political year on his messages from the “miscellaneous”section of surprised. That’s what makes this show bad, but still not unfathomable. What gives, ultimately, the symbolic tragedy that is the attitude with which this is done.

The Declaration of bankruptcy comes at the beginning, and it is not a slip-up, but strategy: Frank Plasberg suggests short, how controversial and problematic this year, don’t worry – only, and then of course the following solution to propose: “But, if you are looking for a long time, also in 2016, the funny moments. That’s why we want to take care of us – I promise!" If ever there was an inscription on the tomb stone of the educational mission of public broadcasters, then Plasberg has formulated. Welcome to Prime time, the ARD! Don’t worry, here you are allowed to live comfortably in the present and reality – we promise!
Long have you actually looked and dug deep, apparently. And where to find the Feelgood-movie snippets from the year 2016? Either in the case of the tabloid magazines or on the Internet. Even as Trump comes up, you collect only amusing anecdotes about him, than the fact that he chose once Verona Feldbusch beauty Queen would be the extent of his importance. Barbara looks beautiful Berger, the “UPS and downs”Videos on YouTube, is like terrifying the families-grandma, the wonder of Christmas with helpless enthusiasm about the mobile phone-movies of the grandchildren.
The preferred topics athletes: tennis player Angelique Kerber, Handballtowart Andreas Wolff, footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger, all the wars their upbeat Einspieler, as well as the Olympians and the EM-football team, of course, not all just with victory messages. More important, however, as an athlete, and even non-political: animals. In literally all of the headings, dolphins, lions, bears, dogs, and especially cats cavort. If nothing helps, shows you even the couples of the year as the cat figures. Road, holiday, police operations, abroad, everywhere, funny Animal movies. Humanity likes to rotate, but nevertheless, On the Fauna, don’t leave yet.

Paradoxically, may not arrive this year in review just in the present, but will necessarily lag of 30 to 40 years behind. You on bags the German Schlager. To play variants of public nostalgia shows like “What am I?” and “thingy”. To celebrate the Queen. It tells the comical encounters of German campers in the African Bush and shows a woman who can’t Park. Oh, how pleasant, all of that. 2016? What was there? Barabara nice Bergers description for your Sweater fits well on the broadcast: “Decorative, but washable”
The actual entertainment value is, of course, come of the celebrities, here, stupid questions and silly game rush. But that’s also missing, unfortunately, is display. Schöneberger and Jan-Josef Liefers out the return of the entertainers-professionals, without anything to contribute except platitudes. Günther Jauch noticeable lack of interest initially entertaining, but eventually not sufficient. And Frank Plassberg and his terrible unlustigen Reconciliations are only tolerable when he satirizes his own “head teacher” style.
The Only one of the wins that night (even though he loses far behind), is, of all things, Klaas Heufer-Umlauf, has been traded for a long time as a “youth solution for the German television”. He starts the broadcast with a sharp, poisoned compliment: “I’m dressed fine, because if I in the Public am, is, of course, a risk that my parents watch.” Later, as a youth choir to sing current Hits, he exclaims indignantly: “But why are you forcing these poor children to Andrea-Berg-Songs to learn by heart?” His Insistence on an attitude, an opinion, on any point of view, is tolerated by the seemingly automated consensus of the people around him, and of the remote-controlled applause from the audience.
Nevertheless, he finally set the last blow that will bring the consignment to the final capsize. Schönberger asks him: “Really, are You so young?” And he doesn’t answer immediately: “No, only compared to you, I am so young, otherwise.” Ouch. It was his first debut in this for nine years, the current ARD-a sad event, and it’s hard to imagine that he is once again invited to be – such a Show would be with only four of its variety, the constantly the authorization and the purpose for sending questions, starting to be bearable.
