in europe most of the the time if you turn on the tv you _will_ find the same stuff.

Holliwood movies, Game of thrones, Kommissar Rex, the borgias, eurovision song contest, european football championships, local versions of "the billionaire" or "big brother" etc.

Did you grow up in southern europe in the '80s? Then you probaly watched the same dubbed animes like "Captain Tsubasa". In eastern europe? Same, but this time it was Krtek. Are you a kid now? Then you are likely watching Masha & The Bear across the whole continent.

That list sounds more of a reason to being done with Europe rather than an argument for its shared culture.

well, you can be done with the EU, but you can't really move a country outside of the european area.

You can avoid TV though, it's really quite simple to do.

Not really. At best you can avoid watching TV yourself -- but you can't easily avoid living in a city/country influenced by tv culture.
