It’s a Wonderful Underwater Country

OK, it’s totally unclear to me exactly what frolicking underwater has to do with creating sharp satire, but in any case — this was the season’s promo for the incredibly successful “Eretz Nehederet” (A Wonderful Country) — the show that has set the standard for poking fun at everything for the past three years. The critics grumbled that the first show of the season fell a bit short of the high (water?) mark it has set in past years, with more giggles than belly laughs. One of the funnier moments was when the Prime Minister’s left-wing artist wife, Aliza Olmert, played the supportive spouse throughout a skit, at the end of which she had created a painting across which was written, “Go Home, you big Failure.” The host said that was a pretty strong statement about her husband’s performance and she just smiled and said, “That’s the wonderful thing about art — you can interpret it in so many different ways.”
