Correction! We do have a YouTube Omani personality. How can you forget our famous Abu Faisal, the drunk useless old man that Omanis enjoy so much? Sick.
Great Post, I enjoyed reading it, and I agree with you. I've travelled all over the world, and in some countries, the television advertisemens are so entertaining that I could spend hours watching them in a foreign language. Creativity. What we need is more creativity. No, actually, what we need is people to not be afraid of creativity, afraid of starting something new and taking a new path. As I said in your alcohol post, we are a collectivistic society. Everyone goes with what society is doing. It's hard to break out of that kind of thinking and go 'hey, I want something different'. Maybe I'll suggest to Bader Al Hinai that we should start a campaign called 'Unleash the Creativity Within'...
Great post.

i like to believe it is just a matter of education and lake of right resources.
I'm proud of the number of talented writers, photographers, designers, IT's we have, it is a matter of time and we will have the same in media industry.

Nadia, I don't think Abu Faisal qualifies as a YouTube personally, I bet he doesn't even know how to use a computer!!

God I HATE Darayish! I've watched a couple of episodes where I thought the theme was good but why the hell does the acting always have to be so freakin retarded (Allahumma inni sa2ima)? It's not even funny. Who makes this crap anyway? And why do these actors (and I use the term loosely cuz they should in fact be called "jokes") agree to be involved in such projects? They can't even be paying that much. You can blatantly see that some are actually talented but what a waste of their time and talent. Have you seen the game show that comes on later in the evening? OH.MY.GOD. And I'm not even going to waste a second of my life watching that Eid & Said cartoon. Pathetic. This could well have been my last attempt to support local TV shows. As of next year I'm fully converting to the Dubai TV channels.

I would give an opinion. but since I barely watch the Omani TV it won't be a detailed one. However the bottom line is. Omanies need a new TV team. what's with this new 3d animated movie btw??? those women wearing burqu3s... i've never watched it but it's Omani right??
... well... I say give it time. There will be improvement in the near future.

Salam Alikom Omani brothers and sisters,
Iam one of your brothers from over the border (U.A.E)
I must say Iam one of your biggest fans of your country and culture but biggest enemy of Abu Faisal (Obvious reasons).
personally i think Oman got a lot of young talent especially now Omani's are all starting to rap and make Urban music, also Omani's got so many intresting stories and inspiration to make movies and music and get a really good industry going on.
A new trend is appearing we should mix our stories, like have a joint U.A.E- Oman tv show and provide a massive story line that includes characters travelling between each others countries.
Becuase i can relate to that as I have alot of Omani freinds due to one of my roles in my position and since then its been on and I wanted this connection for a long time. So we could make something here. but as usual I keep hearing the same bullshit ' the people are not ready for change the people are afraid, what cowards, they are afraid of seeing what exists"
Iam writing a script called " The Border ' or Al Hudood in Arabic and I want the story line to be a joint story between the U.A.E and Oman but in order I would like more Omani freinds male and female for suggestions, I mean I have in my mind what it should be but because Iam extreme i will be told i need to tone down.
