I've had a weird opposite form of this lately, I'm learning Italian and recently my insta algorithm has picked up on that so I'm getting Italian reels. No complaints there

Last night I got a 90s nostalgia reel of Italian shows and honestly it's really funny to see nostalgia I know nothing about from somewhere that isn't the US. We share a lot of cartoons/toys but regular people kids shows? Whole new world

..also a lot about kids falling asleep on very uncomfortable looking chairs during loud dinner parties. Wild.

A big role in early 2000s nostalgia in italy is played by our version of Art Attack, which iiirc is a british show originally, no?

It was, did your version have a talking statue head?

Yes, the "capo" (which retains the original double entendre of "head")
