France 3 management wants to “dust off” its programs and turn Thalassa into a monthly program.
Out with the old folks?
Not only that, it’s not Georges Pernoud who’s being targeted this time, but the show itself, which is slowly disappearing into the cathodic morass of a monthly program, then gradually being phased out to be replaced by more “modern” and more “ass-cultish” broadcasts.
If Patrick Sébastien’s show goes off the air, I don’t give a damn; the same goes for Michel Drucker, who certainly does his job well, but we’ve done just fine without Guy Lux and Léon Zitone.
Suppressing Thalassa is more serious than Georges Pernoud’s endearing personality.
It’s one of the few links that the French, a people of landowners and farmers, have with the sea.
It’s the rare moment when he can realize the importance of the water and salt that surround us, and the strategy of the oceans.
Taking an interest in young people
Mr. Mélanchon has been a visionary (on this subject) by proposing a new French-style frontier and offering young people a space for adventure and conquest, but above all for economic development with unhoped-for promises for our old country.
Has his idea been taken up by any other politician?
Putting Thalassa on the back burner means Berlusconizing our channels once again. Thalassa only attracts two million viewers, while the Saint Glinglin / Psg soccer match attracts many more! That’s right; the stakes aren’t the same.
Georges Pernoud has been at the helm for 40 years, and that’s quite a feat. We have to respect the man and his work, and it’s up to him to hand over the reins, smoothly, and not fired with any formality.
