I forgot to add the shows I'm watching on Hungarian TV - it rarely happens, but soemtimes, yeah. Anyway, there's this charming Victorian detective series called "The Murdock Mysteries", made in Canada, I think, in which the cops run to the crime scenes on bycicles and wear three-piece suits and melon hats, and everything we consider common knowledge or even outdated is brand new and exciting for them. I love the series!

Also, they've started to rerun "The Adventures of Pirx the Pilot", which was about the first Hungarian sci-fi series, based on the short stories of Polish sci-fi genius Stanislaw Lem. This was also the first time when a director (András Rajnai, to name him) experimented with the ten-newest achievements of filmography, just one step before computer-generated stuff and blue and green screens came around.

Of course, he had a very little budget, which he spent on the cool stuff, so that the physical sets turned out really hilarious. For example, the rocket spaceships were actually dismantled coffee machines, with the most obvious parts removed - but everyone recognized them anyway.

It's an old show that first run when I was in upper primary or the early years of secundary school, but it still has its unique charm.
