Hi...
This is the title of a former TV show which aired "videos" calling them "interesting to see"...
Something like "hidden cameras" show...
Nothing common in what they air... Only the purpose which they air videos...
Things like "cars jumping off of cliffs and the driver jumping off with a parachute, a man breaking like 10 bricks with his head, skydiving, a cat and a dog surfing"...
You know... Both "funny" and "amazing"...
I've found "sights" but I suppose it refers to "landscapes and vistas"...
How would you translate this?
Of course, I don't suppose we need to translate...
I'm pretty sure American TV airs similar stuff and the idea is not exactly IRIBs...

This types of shows are called reality show
so we can have a reality show called "the spectacular"

Can you provide a link or a reference? Reality is the genre of the show... |

"Sights Worth Seeing"
Hi Masoud
The U.S version of the show is called "America's Funniest Home Videos".
دیدنیها might be literally "Sights Worth Seeing" which would be a reasonable name for TV show.

Thanks for you answer. I've watched America's Funniest Home Videos. But this show's videos go far more than that and are not just funny... You can watch a few minutes of the program here: http://www.aparat.com/v/Mc3hg |

"The Must-sees"
something, as a remarkable sight or entertainment, that should be seen
