anything with an interesting story is cool whether Turkish / masri / 5aleeji / English ...
but the Turkish series obsession will end soon =) people are so into them coz its something new.. just like the old days when Mexican series were a hit ..
they should start translating Korean series they're quite good too
To be honest, I would rather watch the Turkish series. The only reason is because they have better productions and a more interesting storyline. I find the Egyptian shows are very hyper with a ton of yelling and screaming.
In my opinion, more Arabic shows should follow the format of the Turkish shows in that it has a great storyline and a great production, as I mentioned before. But I must say, Lebanese shows will always remain my favorite :)
Waleg, you forgot Syrian TV series, they are ahead of Egyptian and are falling slightly behind turkish. I would say the Syrian ones are really good,, but right now, Turkish seems to be the best ,however it could be a little slow sometimes. Egyptian for me is totally out of the question, they have that stupid background music,, lol and the studios where they will not stop filming,, and their usual storyline.. egyptians gotta start filming more outside lol,, and getting better cameras because they're productions look soo old.
Better Acting = A toss up. Both have great actors. But right now Egypt has the upper hand.
Better Productions = Both present a great number of high quality productions every year. The best are the joined productions such as Arab London and Asmahan.
In other words, Egypt and Syria lead the field. With the Turkish series being nothing more than shows with no true identity or story.
These comparisons are between Egypt and Syria. I did not mention Turkish series...because they simply aren't in the same field.
masri, how could you said that man. I think masr drama has nothing. they only do their action is to fight like little children playing toys, and they usually play the doors "open and close" for several times. Im getting tired!! egypt drama is all about doors "Open and Close. Like it said they should follow turkey drama.
Turkish TV programmes ...enough! I can't stand watching any of the Turkish programmes, I can't stand anything that is dubbed, I kind of find the dialogues funny, and the dubbing is annoying, I don't like it, even if the story is great and they the acting is good, I can't watch it, and MBC4 is full of them, turkish programmes everywhere, every now and then, I see an ad that says '' khaleel w ..... '' '' noor'' '' el 7elm el da2e3'' '' w tamdi el ayam'' ... MBC should make a channel specially to broadcast all this **** Turkish shows on it, MBC2 is safe and sound that's what matters to me, still turkish movies haven't invaded the screens yet, that's better.
Neither Turkish, nor Egyptian programmes are watchable these days. Same stories!
If you don't like Egyptian, or Turkish shows,
you know that it is hollywood that is the best place on earth that shows can come out wonderfully from, right!? so watch AMERICAN shows, they are the best out there, anything like Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break, Desperate Housewives...etc these are the great shows!
I wonder when will the Israeli TV shows start to invade our tv sets, will they be dubbed or will they be ready-made in arabic :)
Eveybody is going crazy over these Turkish dramas and not only that even Arab singers and actors like Rola Saad and Hasan Asiri want those Turkish celebs to star in their video clips and TV shows which is really stupid! I no longer watch MBC except 2 and action.
as an arab living in america for 20 yrs, i prefer watching egyptian tv better than turkish series that last for years, or american tv which i personally find dam t2eel
EGYPT THE MOTHER OF ART IN MIDDLE EAST , EGYPT ABDEL HALIM ,EGYPT SOAD HOSSNY, EGYPT YOSSIF SHAHEEN, EGYPT AHMED ZAKI , EGYPT NAGIB MAHFOUZ AND MANY MANY OTHERS EGYPT 100 YEAR OF CINEMA WHO ARE THE ARABS WHO STILL DO NOT HAVE CINEMA IN THE 21ST CENTURY TO BE COMPARED TO US OR DARE TO CRITIZES US NOTHING
I think the Turkish ones are better but why because I feel they are more modern the only thing is if they are going to translate them into Arabic why cant we just make series just like those instead of paying them to use theirs??
Egyptian series are funny but they are the same thing over and over again, Egyptian movies especially the older ones are great.
Syrian series are also good and Lebanese comedy shows are the best.

Turkish shows became famous because they are more real and have good DIFFERENT story lines, different than the ones we are always seeing in egptian and syrian shows. they act much better, and like i said its more real, they dont do the shows to show off their makeup and clothes. in the arab shows, the actors wake up with FULL makeup and a fancy dress.
Also, turkish shows relate to our lives, so its more interesting to watch, it has themes that grab your attention TURKISH SHOWS ARE THE BEST!!
and i have to agree with sarah.bambina, Korean shows are really good too :)
we like turkish daramas because the stars are handsome and beautiful,egyptian actors are old and ugly,why a serie such "bab al-hara" is full of old men?why they can't choose handsome young actors?
to me i think turkish show are wayyyyy better cause masri show are ll the same there is no differnet but turkish is a little difference like i watched so far noor sanwat al dyaa
lahzet wadda duma3 al ward al helm al dayee and watamdi al ayam and i dont see anything wrong with them they are the best

well i am closer to hollywood and would like to quote a famous line from Mr.spelling, Mr.Spelling has a huge corporation including Spelling studios and Viacom...
50% of the movie success goes to the outlook of the actor 9or you must have young and good looking actor or your series will fail for sure...) lets take some advice from experienced people....
And Jews own Hollywood why to create another competition in Israel..lol
of course turkish women. They know how to act. the otherside, masri women always yelling and knock the mens out.

With no disrespect to any other country ofcourse. I made my clear point of view in my first post. I just loved this one lol.
you know Mr. Bean is much better acting than momathleen masreen.
Even the monkey can act.'
