Slow TV should not be thought of as a "TV-show" in the usual sense. Think of it more like a new window in your living room - a window to a place you usually would not have a chance to see. And i suspect many do not sit down to watch this - but leave it on in the background - while cooking, reading a book, cleaning - watching a little bit now and then - just like a real window.
I agree with you . Ever since my wife discovered it while staying in Scotland; we became aficionados of snoocker . What is more fascinating than that wonderful green carpet, the clack of the balls and the thud of the ball in the pocket ? Mostly silence unless that ace, O'Sullivan playing like the Rocket Man he is at full speed .
Snooker is delightful to watch. My mother is a huge fan of O'Sullivan. I just appreciate the mathematics involved in it, and the respect that is required of the audience during a game.
Hei hei Minnesota! I can imagine people from the old Dakota Territory, or the North-East part of USA, would like this, since there's actually just as many Norwegian-Americans, as there's "Norwegian Norwegians", or ethnic Norwegians. About 4 million in the old world, and 4 million in the new world. I love the movie Fargo. 😀
Frøya Helene S Haglund USA IS A NICE COUNTRY TOO,,, ore at least it used to bee... my dream when i was younger was to travel to usa,, rent a car and just travel say route 66 coast to coast,,, But now that i can afford it i dont want to anymore,,, i have seen to many VIDEOS OF COPS BEHAVING BADLY TOWARDS TOURISTS,,, and the bigger citys say detroit have an insane crime rate....... so i spend many summers now just camping in norway now,, and around each 5 years i take a SLOW CRUISE IN THE CARABIEN,, 2 ORE 4 WEEKS::::: EXPENCIVE BUT ALSO COOL AND QUITE SAFE...
Funny story: I met an American in his 30's last spring in Tokyo, who told me how he and his GF read a news story about one of the broadcasts - think it was the Hurtigruten coastal cruise. They dug around a bit and found a cable channel who had the broadcast, got high and started watching. Best TV we ever saw, was his verdict.
James Jacobson Anyone who says Norway looks bad must be brainwashed or just really ignorant. You will be welcomed here, norwegians are welcoming towards legal immigrants who bring their positivity with them.
Went for the first time to Norway in February two years ago and fell in love. Am returning next week for a vacation which will include a boat trip from Kirkines to Bergen. I am so thrilled.
It's about being information overloaded and the need to take things slowly, to calm down. Also, there is no underlying agenda in a raw capture of nature.
Slow TV is perfect background noise. Sitting alone at home one afternoon and doing whatever, having the television on in the background and letting the seven hour train journey play undisturbed.
im norwegian and i have never seen any of these shows, except the boat. the one with the boat is really popular, kind of like a summer tradition for many norwegians but from the video you make it seem like this is everything on the TV in Norway, while it isnt. this is special here too. it only 1 tv channel, and most of the time there are normal shows on that channel as well.
He does say in the video that it's on NRK2 and it's extremely successful, and it's not on all the time. I've only seen a show dedicated to the Sami people herding reindeer, and yes, it was extremely boring and I didn't bother to change the channel for some reason.
Then you should get to know the people in your country better. Get out of the house and meet people. You won't find out if you sit inside all day playing video games on a sick gaming rig your parents got you
As a Norwegian, I know about this and I can say it's mostly old people watching parts of it, or just people having it on in the background, a little like we do with wintersports xD
It's crazy how I watched that same Oslo train ride video years back. The fact that there's a TV channel now for it and various other activities is great! Love from Southern California! ♧
There are "live cams" for Bergensbanen here on UA-cam I think. I remember watching it when going to sleep some time back (winter one is perfect for that) There's also similar ones in Austria or Italy I think? I can not for the life of me remember the names though, I guess just google/search here "Bergensbanen live". I think they're recordings but not sure. It's summer here now in case you would want to check that
I think it’s so sweet , pure and simple that these people genuinely enjoy this. I could definitely get into this, I probably wouldn’t grab some popcorn, sit down and be hyped about it, but I’d definitely put it on while I’m cooking, cleaning, using it as background noise and video. I like it ! Norway seems like such a nice beautiful place to live with good people.
as i can remember we have brodcasted - Train twice - Boats three time (Hurtigruta / Skibladner / dont remember the last) - Raindeer and fish - nitting - cow - Every song in the norwegian christian song bok
That's the benefit of NRK being funded by a TV-owners-license, they don't have to worry about commercial viability and thus get to try out a lot of things
mossum81 I have to agree. I'm American. I can hear some say 'this is stupid, why are they wasting money on this stupid show!' Change the channel, then canceled. Money money money. Can it make money here? Nope!
As a Norwegian I can say that we're not all big fans of this. The programming itself is fair enough, fun experiment. But the channel NRK is funded by what we call a "TV license" that we have to pay twice a year regardless of if we actually watch that channel or not. This causes some problems, like that screens without a receiver for TV signals becomes very difficult to come by and much more expensive than they need to be. Everyone here has some older person buy their TV to avoid the license hassle, or just refuse to pay it since they have no actual way of enforcing it since they have no way to tell if you have a TV or not. People just say they use computers instead, that the TV broke, whatever, it's not like they can search your house anyway. So now they want to change it and make it like in the UK where everyone regardless of if they have a TV or not pay for it, and to sell that policy they say that only people over a certain age will have to pay so that young people won't get affected (but we know this is most likely a lie and that will change just a few years after they pass it). Now if this was BBC and I was paying for say Doctor Who, I'd go along with it, but considering what NRK produces, I and many others have no interest in watching it or paying for it, especially not programming that is the same god dammed thing I see out the window.
As an American I find it boring at first but then I find it as a stress free therapeutic way of viewing life and see it's beautiful remedies! A way to combat impatience!
I love it! This fits so well with Norway, the country I was born and raised in. What a great idea to get people to just slow down in our very hectic culture. We need this here in the U.S.!
I don't usually like watching these shows but last year i had lots of anxiety after surgery and couldn't sleep. The train broadcast helped me fall asleep.
I've seen this same train video before in a trance video. I had no idea that it came from this. The knitting is very boring but the train isn't. Fortunately I've had the opportunity to go to Oslo Norway by train in 1990. It is very beautiful. Thanks.
Sooo cool! I wonder if they would just upload their slow TV segments to youtube. I watch several TV series while I work crossword puzzles. I like the story-lines and characters of the shows, but they don't always need full eyes-on-the-tube concentration. And it's always nice to get to peep into the lives of folks (and boats, trains, knitting circles, and fishers) from far-away places.
NRK, being state-owned, makes a lot of their works available for everyone in the world at their website. train-ride: tv.nrk.no/program/PRHO63004009/bergensbanen-minutt-for-minutt wood-burning: tv.nrk.no/serie/nasjonal-vedkveld/dvnr30003513/15-02-2013
They have uploaded most of their broadcasts online, just not on youtube. On their own site nrk.no Here's a bird cliff, in real time, for 5 hours: tv.nrk.no/serie/fuglefjellet-hornoeya/DVNA20000516/sesong-1/episode-1 Here's the Sara family, a sami family, moving their reindeers from winter to summer grounds, in real time, for 10 days: tv.nrk.no/serie/reinflytting-minutt-for-minutt/SAPR63800117/24-04-2017 Here's - for some reason I don't understand - 12 hours of minecraft: tv.nrk.no/serie/hele-norge-bygger-minutt-for-minutt/MSUB01100116/sesong-1/episode-1 Here's a boat traveling on a canal for 6 hours: tv.nrk.no/serie/telemarkskanalen-minutt-for-minutt-tv/DVFJ60001112/26-08-2012 And then in addition to the ones mentioned in the CBS show, there's also a entire hymnal being sung(899 hymns), a Christmas pork rib being slow cooked for 7 hours, the world's oldest paddle steamer still in timetabled service for 1 week, and 12 hours of the worlds strongest maelstrom/whirlpool. And then there's my favorite. It's 3 - 4 hours of a fisherman pulling cod on his boat. tv.nrk.no/program/dkno30000114/skreifiske-torsk-for-torsk I love that last one. It's very relaxing to watch that fisherman, and his dialect is very soothing. But off course, it's all in Norwegian. Most programs on nrk.no aren't availible to watch from other countries. But I think all of these are. I have my VPN set on London to watch BBC for free, and I could still watch all of these, so I think it's fine.
the Minecraft one is pretty interesting 750 kids around Norway building sights around Norway, the prime minister actually joins in to build something from her birthplace, Bergen.
I got out of bed this morning , "the wrong side ". In other words I was in a bad mood . Watching this has made me smile , there is a feel good feel about it !
This would totally work in the US as we have so much geographic distance between various regions and curiosity about the land and its people. There is a certain demographic of viewer who longs for what is natural, real and beautiful. Many of us who watch CBS Sunday Morning fit that demographic. Those of us who value the diversity, who view our land as our greatest resource, and who love people for the very sake of curiosity about one another would love to see humanity in its natural habitat, not the one presented by marketers and those who exist in a state of acquisition and competition.
We used to have a program on public access here in Madison, WI on WYOU. It was called Cooking with Bob. Bob would put something on a grill and you could watch slowly burn until it was charcoal. Great to watch in the Winter in front of space heater.
Oh I see. I guess the most boring fishy TV is universal. Unlike what you have on here is far, far more interesting! Greetings from the other side of the globe! P.S. please say hi to my idol Magnus Carlsen:))
I've watched burning fire by the creek on YT for hours once. It gave me a sense of piece and relaxation. Remember national geographic channel how it used to show animals for hours with occasional narration. You just can't have candy all the time, or you will end up with diabetes! Eat your veggies! (Metaphorically speaking)

I, as a Norwegian, would call it "Background TV". This isn't something you sit down in the sofa and watch for many hours. It's more like a program that you put on to have something in the background while you have guests or something, and check in on the TV for a minute or two before you return to the guests. We also have the world's best chess player and the matches tend to go for many, many hours. It's nice having it on in the background. Yes, we are a strange country, and no, Kvikklunsj is NOT Kit Kat.
What a wonderful time we have traveling just absorbing slow tv. This really is a very effective way of calming us all down, I think it's becoming more and more popular for good reason. Thank you for sharing. We film natural gopro walks through soulful cities but it's lovely to see interesting places we may never get to go to too.
I've noticed how there's really long videos of log's burning in a fireplace, that can be put on repeat, on Netflix now. But perhaps that's only here in Norway?
I remember standing at the docks as the ship arrived in my city, hoping to be on TV, almost ten years ago now. Those were good times, indeed. Didn't have the patience to watch a lot of it, though.
This isn't about exciting or boring, it's relaxing, nothing like it on TV and even in life. A good show to watch where you can watch and do nothing, relax and go through your thoughts.

Hmm I'm pretty sure a local station in Denmark, TV Syd, showed slow TV in the 2000s of train rides. They were not meant as the broadcasting as such, but were showed in the hours leading up to the broadcasting. I remember a few times by accident zapping to these channels and watched it a few times of maybe half an hour. It's such a strange feeling cause you get mesmerized into just just staring onto the screen. It's soul healing.
I live in Norway. One of the program was abouth to learn to make a steak we eat at christmas. They used camera in the oven. Slow tv in many ours. Hurtigruten got many more passenger after the program. When I am in Bergen I always see Hurtigruten beautifull boaths. Have a wonderfull day everyone frome beautifull Norway.
There's tons of these train videos on UA-cam and I watch them all the time - nothing unique about Norway doing it, except for the scenery, of course! But I've been watching these for years - they're a lot of fun.
I could see this taking off, sometimes the TV is on just for background noise while we read or play a game, having this would mean people would pay little attention to it unless something happens.
I Love CBS Sunday Morning! Would you CBS please add to your 1.5 hr show a 30 min segment, it would really only have to be 27 mins as you already do a 3min segment of "we leave you with... . Please consider this seriously.
Wow this is late. As a Norwegian i can tell you we have had this for a number of years already. Never been a big fan of it myself, but my parents are. I do see the appeal though as it sets a different pace from most other tv shows.
We're very interested in 'slow TV', no presenters, muzak or opinion, just an immersive tour with natural sounds and sights. Thanks for adding this. I hope between us we can spread these kind of videos around a little. It's a great way to learn more about our world.

The techy in me wants to know how they keep cameras going for days without running out of recording space? My guess is they're recording directly into an external drive?
Slow TV should not be thought of as a "TV-show" in the usual sense. Think of it more like a new window in your living room - a window to a place you usually would not have a chance to see.
And i suspect many do not sit down to watch this - but leave it on in the background - while cooking, reading a book, cleaning - watching a little bit now and then - just like a real window.
Jarl S nah brah. Then you'll just program yourself to ignore it
+Jarl
You hit the nail on the head.
Greetings from Norway, i have come to answer your prediction. Yes, that’s exactly it.
@@uverhaul My grandparents watch it without doing anything else
agreed 100% Jarl, a lot of people just leave their televison on for the atmosphere, and of course the plus is there are no adverts!
In Britain we have a version of this called "snooker".
Ben Hansell - So, Cricket is untouchable here? Dude.
Ben Hansell tennis can also be really tedious some times😕
I agree with you . Ever since my wife discovered it while staying in Scotland; we became aficionados of snoocker . What is more fascinating than that wonderful green carpet, the clack of the balls and the thud of the ball in the pocket ? Mostly silence unless that ace, O'Sullivan playing like the Rocket Man he is at full speed .
Snooker is delightful to watch. My mother is a huge fan of O'Sullivan. I just appreciate the mathematics involved in it, and the respect that is required of the audience during a game.
im from norway and i love watching snooker haha
Norway is awesome for starting this - greetings from Minnesota
Hei hei Minnesota! I can imagine people from the old Dakota Territory, or the North-East part of USA, would like this, since there's actually just as many Norwegian-Americans, as there's "Norwegian Norwegians", or ethnic Norwegians. About 4 million in the old world, and 4 million in the new world.
I love the movie Fargo. 😀
I would love a "slow-TV" from the USA in a train traveling from coast or coast...
full of warmongering and state propaganda
Yeah, but you see, Norway is actually a nice country
Baard Ove Kopperud making a tv show about trying to legislate stronger gun laws should be slow tv with epic proportions.
Frøya Helene S Haglund USA IS A NICE COUNTRY TOO,,, ore at least it used to bee...
my dream when i was younger was to travel to usa,, rent a car and just travel say route 66 coast to coast,,,
But now that i can afford it i dont want to anymore,,, i have seen to many VIDEOS OF COPS BEHAVING BADLY TOWARDS TOURISTS,,, and the bigger citys say detroit have an insane crime rate.......
so i spend many summers now just camping in norway now,, and around each 5 years i take a SLOW CRUISE IN THE CARABIEN,, 2 ORE 4 WEEKS::::: EXPENCIVE BUT ALSO COOL AND QUITE SAFE...
I would watch that!
Funny story: I met an American in his 30's last spring in Tokyo, who told me how he and his GF read a news story about one of the broadcasts - think it was the Hurtigruten coastal cruise. They dug around a bit and found a cable channel who had the broadcast, got high and started watching. Best TV we ever saw, was his verdict.
the train ride from Oslo to Bergen inspired me to do long exposure photography I've gotten pretty good at it too
Recommend watching the boat ride then, its even longer.
That is, if you've got an entire week of watching to spare.
Gravemaskin Mannen well the only boat version I know is only 12 hours long on Netflix
12 hours ? Way too short !
As a Norwegian, I find other nations astonishment astonishing...
You stole my comment 😂
Norway is beautiful. Probably not for everyone, but that is my dream home
James Jacobson Anyone who says Norway looks bad must be brainwashed or just really ignorant. You will be welcomed here, norwegians are welcoming towards legal immigrants who bring their positivity with them.

Went for the first time to Norway in February two years ago and fell in love. Am returning next week for a vacation which will include a boat trip from Kirkines to Bergen. I am so thrilled.

It's about being information overloaded and the need to take things slowly, to calm down. Also, there is no underlying agenda in a raw capture of nature.
6 years later this comment hits hard
Slow TV is perfect background noise. Sitting alone at home one afternoon and doing whatever, having the television on in the background and letting the seven hour train journey play undisturbed.
YESS! and train journey videos have an almost asmr sound that can sway you to sleep pretty quick😂
I sleep in the boat in Tromsø
Well, I've never heard Bergen pronounced like that.
Poor guy think it's german
You gotta get the æ pronounced in there, but let's be honest, at least he tried, compared to most people who just americanize the pronunciation.
And he said Ozlo, wtf ?
Tesla Bjørn says something close to Bærgen instead of Bergen, is that the right way to say it ?
Pronounced Bærgen, yes.
We're talking to the ones who do concern themselves with it, if you don't, good for you.

I want a work visa for Norway
Beautiful country
I am a trained pharmacist
Can anyone help?
It is s shame they're ruining your country by flooding it with Salafi-Wahhabi immigrants
Then you should get to know the people in your country better. Get out of the house and meet people. You won't find out if you sit inside all day playing video games on a sick gaming rig your parents got you
Public television in the 70's used to have shows like this. I remember seeing a train ride through ,Canada coast to coast.

I have the Bergensbanen minutt for minutt in my favorites and watch whenever I need to unwind. Love it!
det er jævlig lættis.
In the US we had a version of this for 4 years! It was absolutely crazy watching our country slowly self destruct every day on TV and Twitter!!
I watched that train film during 3 days in the row, i guess i'm ready for Norway.
I think it’s so sweet , pure and simple that these people genuinely enjoy this. I could definitely get into this, I probably wouldn’t grab some popcorn, sit down and be hyped about it, but I’d definitely put it on while I’m cooking, cleaning, using it as background noise and video.

i randomly came over this video and saw a clip from my little hometown, how weird
I want those train-rides as my computer wallpaper.
Not boring!!!! I’m captivated by the simplicity
One should add that the part when the purser sang in the harbour happened in the middle of the night. I think it was like 2 or 3 o'clock.
Broad Daylight!
Bongo Brandy midnight sun, the sun never set i northern Norway in the summer. ☺
We REALLY NEED THIS in the US!
This just makes me happy.
Me also!!! I am So grateful I just received this gift.
I, as a Norwegian, would call it "Background TV". This isn't something you sit down in the sofa and watch for many hours. It's more like a program that you put on to have something in the background while you have guests or something, and check in on the TV for a minute or two before you return to the guests. We also have the world's best chess player and the matches tend to go for many, many hours. It's nice having it on in the background. Yes, we are a strange country, and no, Kvikklunsj is NOT Kit Kat.
I could see it like that. As a kid, I used to leave the TV on a news/text channel and have that run for a while.
I admire these folks.
What a wonderful time we have traveling just absorbing slow tv. This really is a very effective way of calming us all down, I think it's becoming more and more popular for good reason. Thank you for sharing.
We film natural gopro walks through soulful cities but it's lovely to see interesting places we may never get to go to too.
I really like watching stuff like that. It's soothing and when else am I going to take a train journey like that?
The latest show was "Around Spitsbergen by boat". It lasted 9 days (24 hrs a day)
Slow TV is the best. Really fascinating to watch something unfold.
There used to be a fishing show in the 70’s without all the inane constant conversation. Just the sounds of nature around you.
I've noticed how there's really long videos of log's burning in a fireplace, that can be put on repeat, on Netflix now. But perhaps that's only here in Norway?
I remember standing at the docks as the ship arrived in my city, hoping to be on TV, almost ten years ago now. Those were good times, indeed. Didn't have the patience to watch a lot of it, though.
This isn't about exciting or boring, it's relaxing, nothing like it on TV and even in life.
A good show to watch where you can watch and do nothing, relax and go through your thoughts.
I think I spent over 12 hours watching the boat traveling around in Norway.
Noen andre Norske?🇳🇴
We love it in Norway 😍
Danke aus Frankreich 🇫🇷🇩🇪

Hmm I'm pretty sure a local station in Denmark, TV Syd, showed slow TV in the 2000s of train rides.
They were not meant as the broadcasting as such, but were showed in the hours leading up to the broadcasting.
I remember a few times by accident zapping to these channels and watched it a few times of maybe half an hour.
It's such a strange feeling cause you get mesmerized into just just staring onto the screen. It's soul healing.
Lol sometimes around Christmas I watch slow tv of the process of cooking “Ribbe” (idk the English word)
They should do an episode showing the building process of a grand piano or even a large pipe organ!
Slow tv is the exact same feeling you get when making a fire and just looking at it. Peace.
I live in Norway. One of the program was abouth to learn to make a steak we eat at christmas. They used camera in the oven. Slow tv in many ours. Hurtigruten got many more passenger after the program. When I am in Bergen I always see Hurtigruten beautifull boaths. Have a wonderfull day everyone frome beautifull Norway.
we also have something called "laksen live" which is a live broadcast that uses 4 underwater cameras filming salmon during the spring or something
There’s a show here in Virginia of wood burning... literally just that. Not just Norway
Omg I love the fire wood burning. Great idea.
I’d turn on the tv for some firewood getting burnt ngl
It’s cozy haha
There's tons of these train videos on UA-cam and I watch them all the time - nothing unique about Norway doing it, except for the scenery, of course! But I've been watching these for years - they're a lot of fun.
And also the fact that 1/4th of the population watched it, and the fact that it was on national television
I would totally watch a train journey. I loved "Great Railway Journeys" too.
it´s not boring. very relaxing in fact...
4:25
I almost had a stroke trying to understand what the actual f*** he said and I’m NORWEGIAN
Espen Ertu Bari?
I thought I was weird for looking up filmed train routes online...
I could see this taking off, sometimes the TV is on just for background noise while we read or play a game, having this would mean people would pay little attention to it unless something happens.
It's like screen savers for TVs
They also put cameras in the oven sometimes so we Can watch the food cook
I Love CBS Sunday Morning! Would you CBS please add to your 1.5 hr show a 30 min segment, it would really only have to be 27 mins as you already do a 3min segment of "we leave you with... . Please consider this seriously.
I love Norway, my country is amazing, unique and beautiful.
norway is not my country, but I agree.
PuroYO Norge e ein kjekk plass
@@cactuskaktus6734 wtf?!?!?!?
Sounds awesome. I would totally watch.
How, pray tell, does someone "totally" watch something on TV? You watch or you don't watch. There is no totally watch.
@@garychristenson6370 It's called dialect. Are you this obnoxious in real life? I feel bad for your family...
Germany had this train trips more then twenty years ago, every night, nothing new
They should have more this "Slow TV"!
Wow this is late. As a Norwegian i can tell you we have had this for a number of years already. Never been a big fan of it myself, but my parents are. I do see the appeal though as it sets a different pace from most other tv shows.
We're very interested in 'slow TV', no presenters, muzak or opinion, just an immersive tour with natural sounds and sights. Thanks for adding this. I hope between us we can spread these kind of videos around a little. It's a great way to learn more about our world.
Hold up. Was that girl playing a saw with a bow?
Yup.
What, you never saw that before? :O That's been a thing for over a century, actually.
Great spotlight
Sunday Morning is like Church, in a sense, because of the cool nature slow tv at the endBest show on TV
This type of thing is the reason I watch the Tour De France every year.
If this were a channel here in America it would be the only channel allowed to be on in my home.
One of the BEST anchor women & missed! (I gave up media TV years ago ...too much babble-talk & opinions instead of news).
there used to be a point of view train journeys on maybe German/Austrian tv late at night which was very good. Very interesting and slow!
How come I've never heard of this? I live in Norway lol
I watch the train journey alot when I'm doing yoga. Its nice.
If you guys want to watch the train ride just search for "BergenBanen minutt for minutt HD" on youtube.
Im Norwegian and love slow TV😍

i love this--an open window
Looks like an awesome country.
This is the polar opposite of "Fast TV" as TV in the US usually is. It is an entirely new perspective of life as it really is.
The techy in me wants to know how they keep cameras going for days without running out of recording space? My guess is they're recording directly into an external drive?
