Chinese TV is garish like pattern + color overlays in hotel/restaurant interior design; the ubiquitous neon of shop signs along the city rim every night [Zhuhai]; or even the clunky color + texture choices in the landscaping in "peoples' parks".
It is as stylized and shrill as traditional Chinese Opera; it tends to take on a particularly surreal tinge as it parodies American game show, reality show, cop show genres, and commercials and cartoons.
It's wonderful. And it's in technicolor!!
