Norway’s surprising TV hit For more Last Look, watch GPS, Sundays at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN In Norway, where the divorce rate is 40 percent, one official has some advice for married couples: Do as Tina Fey and Steve Carell did in the movie Date Night. Go out. That date ended with car chases and mobster confrontations. But at least they werent home on the couch. Last Friday, 1.3 million Norwegians were indeed home, watching a smash hit television show. Thats a quarter of the nations population, tuning in for over 12 uninterrupted hours for a national…knitting evening. Yes. Knitting. So-called slow TV is huge here. Whether its seven hour train rides, a full day of salmon fishing, 12 hours of burning wood or 30-hour interviews. More than 50 percent of the population once tuned in for a ships 134-hour coastline cruise. The knitting evening did have a dramatic twist. After hours of knitting, they attempted to break the world time record for producing a sweater. Starting from the very beginning – the shearing of a sheep. globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn/2013/11/13/norways-surprising-tv-hit/?hpt=hp_bn2
