This article made for an interesting point. I do watch a lot of American TV shows, as well as a few Japanese TV shows.
While some points the writer makes are valid, others are questionable. What are your thoughts?
I guess it could be decided on a case by case basis, depending on what your viewing tastes are.
It could be argued that a cultural difference in background can affect how an audience enjoys something.
When I first started to learn Japanese, I really enjoyed watching music shows, especially Utaban, Hey Hey Hey, and Music Station. I believe my listening skills really improved just by observing. Sadly, two of those shows no longer exist.
I think it just depends if you find a show you like, I believe everyone can enjoy any show, regardless of cultural background or language skills, as long as the content is good.
