What are the top 10 most popular TV shows in Japan NOW?

Question:


I couldn't find out through google...

Answer:


I don't care mush about "popular" shows but I can list three very interesting programs: 1) Tetsuko no Heya (a longest-surviving interview program in Japan for the past few decades; 2) TV Tackle (a political discussion program) hosted by world-famous movie director and comedian, Kitano Takeshi; 3) Asamade nama TV, which is also a political discussion program mainly by Japanese politicians and journalists. If you were interested in Japanese politics and current issues of Japan today, this is the program that you must watch.

Ex.
This is what Tetsuko no Heya (Tetsuko's room) program looks like when Lady Gaga was interviewed by Tetsuko right after the 3.11 Tsunami disaster in Japan.

Addition:
I know some weird Americans who are living in Japan by "teaching English" (which is the least respected job for foreigners in Japan). Some of them are always "bad-mouthing" the Japanese with filthy language without really knowing what Japan and Japanese cultural heritage. Stupidly enough, some of them are acting as if "I am an expert on Japan" in this Japan forum. A few of them are shamelessly responding to questions of "Japanese people only" by saying "we" think so and so as if they are representing the Japanese. In most cases, their answers do not make any sense from Japanese view, not to mention. I really wonder why they can act in these arrogant, ignorant and insensitive ways to the point of stupidity, if not insanity.
