What joke can already be told about Ganz that will be more ridiculous than what happened to him?
The new stars shone in the opening episode of the 18th season of "Great Country", mainly because they are new.
In an endless election campaign with stars that hardly change, what else can be renewed about those battered figures?
Plus: Too bad the show didn’t take advantage of the Arab voice in favor of something fresher

Excerpt from the sketch of the turtles in Dubai, "A Wonderful Land" (Rainbow 12)
The promos that aired last night in a request to "Ninja Israel" talked about a track that is "hell", because even in a year when a global epidemic caused a severe economic crisis in the country, hundreds of thousands of workers were sent home, welfare flooded with politicians arranging another round of elections at our expense. - Maintaining proportions is not a powerful feature of our TV.
Throughout this year we have become accustomed to watching a screen so escapist that it is only natural that we should be confused between promo and reality.
Therefore, it made sense that "Great Country" opened its 18th season with a parody of current affairs through a parody of television.
Thus the hyper-dramatic melodrama of "Lock Hour" and the failure of the conception in the Yom Kippur War rolled into Israeli arrogance and dysfunction in the face of the corona crisis (and even with a guest appearance by cast member Lior Ashkenazi, with the iconic wig), while the parade of politicians rebranded Found him an obvious metaphor as a version of the "Singer in the Mask" contest, with even the French side and Ofira Asaig arriving with pre-determined sticks.
Indeed, the most important Israeli satire program on screen rightly thinks of itself as the one who removes the masks from all of these, even though just like in Israeli politics: it is more discouraging than amusing when a joke is repeated four times in two years.

Shined like Gideon Saar.
Dudu Erez, "Wonderland" Season 18 (Rainbow Screenshot 12)
In any case, in "Eretz" they remembered a little late: "Lock Hour" and "The Singer in a Mask" both ended a few weeks ago, and the television and news wheel in Israel is forever.
That basically says it all: as someone who is just getting into the rhythm, "Great Country" is a bit behind reality, and has not yet completely found its groove, which as usual tends to get better throughout the season.
Still, some stars shone in the sky of a "wonderful country."
As expected, this is especially true of the relatively new talents in the ensemble - Dudu Erez who shone like Gideon Saar, and Yaniv Bitton with the imitation of his falling net to Yuli Edelstein (make them permanent!).
The rest of the cast pretty much froze on its heels in the overly lengthy political panel.
In the end, it was the characters who came to fruition.
Nothing to do: In an endless election campaign with stars that hardly change.

Life gives lemons: we did not expect such a punch in the stomach from the opening episode of "Stisl"

Even when there is already an Arab voice, he is here to talk about Netanyahu.
George Shorosh as Mansour Abbas, "Wonderland" Season 18 (Rainbow Screenshot 12)
Here and there, some new jokes and new characters were hidden, and this is the place to mention the character of the leader of RAAM Mansour Abbas as Netanyahu's denied partner - played by the talented new cast member Amir Shorosh (who is the well-remembered Ramzi from "Kupa Rashit", and who has already played For "Great Country" the chairman of the joint list, Ayman Odeh).
This scene began as a promise in its early moments.
Eyal Kitsis told Abbas-Shorush that he was happy to host him for the first time in the studio.
"Look, it's time," he replied with a smile, "I hope we will soon have representation in more programs."
Here, "Great Country" could have said something significant about the exclusion of Arabs from the Israeli screen, from current affairs and entertainment programs alike, including Rainbow 12 - but chose a sleazy and lazy joke about "The Singer in a Hijab" and "The Master Works at McDonald's" as a replacement for "Master Chef" ".
The figure of Abbas came to expose the double and racist game played by Netanyahu and the Likud in everything related to political cooperation with the Arab party.
Everything is true, and yet there is something sad about the fact that even when there is an Arab voice - he is here at the end to have a conversation about Netanyahu, that is, about Jews.
The same thing happened in the sketch about the turtles in Dubai, which also has jokes about Arabs - the same stereotypical jokes as in the sketch about Abbas, yes?
Multiplicity of women and greed - serve as a backdrop (literally, when these characters have almost no text at all) for the need of the turtles in status symbols.
Thus the covert critique of the prejudices of the turtles is to some extent also true of a "wonderful country": in the end, neither these nor those are interested in this space and the souls of the actions in it.
