I remember I knew there was once upon time a TV show in the American ABC network in the 1960s with name of the "Dating game" when I was watching the thriller "confessions of a dangerous mind" , a biography about the man behind the show Chuck Barris in which he claimed that he was working for the C.I.A as a hitman , a very interesting movie directed by George Loony you must see.
The idea of the show then was considered silly that was widely characterized in America
The game was a bachelorette would ask questions written in advance on cards to each of the three bachelors. The same question could be asked to multiple bachelors. This continued until time ran out. The bachelorette would make her choice based solely on the answers to her questions.Typically, a bachelorette would question three bachelors, who were hidden from her view; at the end of the questioning period, she would choose one to go out with on a date paid for by the show. Occasionally, the roles would be reversed with a man questioning three ladies.
Back then even the American society didn't accept the idea that easily , of course now it is nothing compared to the reality TV
Why do I bother you with this showbiz historical info my dear Egyptian chronicles ??
Well simply because as soon as I read this repot in "Elaph.com" in Arabic about this Show in the LBC channel ,I remember the Dating game , in fact it is a kind of mix between the "Dating and wedding game" if there is a show called "the wedding game" as it is not about dating but marriage according to the rules of the "Dating game" !!
It is called "Albi Dalili" ,in English " My heart is my guide" which is the name of the famous song by legendry Leila Muard and directed by the famous Lebanese variety director of "Studio El-Fan" Simon Asmar
Really I am shocked to the level we reached in our Arab society as if we need this kind "I am sorry to use the word" of crap , already I don't know why LBC is specialiezed in this useless time wasting TV shows ,copy cat from the west to create a new class of ignorant generations, I am sorry if my words seem too big but this is the reality ,I won't speak about the LBC and its role in Lebanon whether politicaly or Socially because this channel proved in the last lebanon july war that it is not a real lebanese channel !!
No respect at all to what really marriage and companision mean , No respect at all to our Eastern and Arabic traditions
It is not about the Eastern Islamic or Christian traditions , because also the Christians in the Arab world will and are refusing this sort of TV shows !!
It is so disgusting , really disgusting
LBC thrives on reality TV.

the mistake is not the LBC's only but it is the mistake of those who watch these shows giving high ratings despite all what it presents against our culture
