New shows at PRO TV

This fall, PRO TV will broadcast every Friday at 20.00 a funny mini-series, produced by Florin Calinescu. The new show, called “Living in a city building” will be “built” following the successful recipe of the Occidental sitcoms. The structure of the new show starts with two main characters, Nelu Curca and Costel Jurca. Around them “gravitate” the wives, children and friends.

The idea for this Romanian sitcom started in the micro-universe created by the blocks of flats where all problems are common because the walls are thin and everybody knows everybody. The subject of the show will be placed in the apartment of the Curca family.

Among the actors will be stars and debutantes. Another show that will have its debut this fall on PRO TV is a gastronomic one. The host will be the renowned writer, ethnologist, playwright and gastronome Radu Anton Roman.

The idea for this show is an original one based on a dimension familiar to Romanians – the kitchen with a touch of tradition and according to the geographical area the food came from. Starting September 9, “Bucataria lui Radu” (Radu’s kitchen) will offer the audience a new perspective on the Romanian ethnographic universe starting with various culinary customs of different regions.

Romanian gastronomy will be just a pretext for a large analysis and presentation of regional cultural phenomena including customs and traditions for each folkloric zone and access indications and prices for tourists.

The show will try to rise the interest for the local ethno-gastronomy that we feel is no less important that others.

The show will also serve to instil the wish to better know the country and its cultural values.
