Well, I don't watch tv a lot. Tv shows here suck because the shows are mostly about hopeless romantics story and sometimes the stories are plagiarism of Korean or Indian movies or soap operas. HOwever, I'll try to help you with my limited english.

MAMA MIA SHOW-> Singing talent show. The mothers are the managers, the daughters are the singers.

SOLEHA -> Telenovela or soap opera, but over here it is famous by the term "sinetron". Soleha is a name for a girl. She's wearing hijab, so it's a bit having Islam touch in the story.

KUGAPAI CINTAMU, CINTA FITRI, TABIR KEHIDUPAN , TAKDIR CINTA, JUWITA JADI PUTRI, PACAR PILIHAN, ROMAN PICISAN, ENENG DAN KAOS KAKI AJAIB-> I don't know these. But from the cheesy titles I assume they are the cheesy sinetrons.

CANDY -> A story about a girl named Candy. It's teen story with love conflict things.

SINEKUIS PPT, TELEKUIS KADO 17TH -> I assume they are quizzes

CINDERELLA -> Another sinetron with cheesy story with rich girl and poor girl

PARA PENCARI TUHAN -> Kind of religion show, never watched it but it's showed during ramadhan

OLIVIA -> A cheesy sinetron story about a girl named Olivia who pretends to be a boy

INTAN -> Another story about a girl named Intan, yeah it's also a sinetron

SI ENTONG, SI ENTONG SPESIAL RAMADHAN -> A sinetron story about a boy named Entong. This sinetron has Betawi tribe culture background. Betawi is one of many tribes in Indonesia.

ABU NAWAS DARI BETAWI -> A sinetron about a guy named abu nawas with betawi culture background

KDI -< dangdut singing contest

It is common for people here to watch tv night or early morning ( for those who can't sleep), because some television channels are like 24 hours airing.
